What’s the difference between an estimate and a quote?
In short, estimates are a rough idea of price and are only used as guide price only. Quotes are legally binding and should only be used when you are certain of the costs involved. We have made an in-depth blog post about estimates and quotes here:

Yes! No job is too big or too small so if you have a leaky tap needing some repairs, call us on 01234 325 620 or email us at info@christyplumbing.co.uk.
How often should I service my boiler?
We recommend yearly service to help ensure that your boiler, cylinder or fire are running as efficiently and as safely as possible. And your appliance manufacturer requires a service to keep your boiler/cylinder/fire in good, safe working order, maintain its warranty/guarantee and reduce the risk of costly breakdowns.
Why is my radiator not heating up?
The most common reason why your radiator is not heating up is due to trapped air. If your radiator is hot at the bottom but cold on the top, this is likely to be the case. To fix this, you’ll have to bleed your radiators. Simply, use a radiator key to unscrew the bleed screw, where you should begin to hear a hissing noise. Once the noise has stopped, all the air has escaped and you can now screw it back in place. If your radiator is still cold to touch, we would be happy to come out and investigate further. Please call us on 01234 325 620 or email us at info@christyplumbing.co.uk
Why is my boiler making a strange noise?
If your boiler is making any kind of noise, especially one that is unusual and new, this is likely a sign that something is not right. You should get it investigated as soon as possible as if it is a sign of a serious problem, leaving it could cause more damage and reduce the lifespan of your boiler.
