Plumbing Services

Looking for a reliable ‘plumber near me’ in Loughton? TM Hughes & Son provides prompt and professional services. Whether you need emergency plumbing repairs, a bathroom installation, or routine maintenance, our team of experienced plumbers is ready to assist you.

Most of the Plumbing in the Loughton household is located in the kitchen and bathroom. Aspects of your Plumbing system will need upgrading, repairing or replacing at some point as running water wears essential components out from time to time, here are some examples of the services we offer.

Taps

Taps work hard daily and can develop drips or leaks. However, most tap parts are easily changed and usually involves the quick replacement of a cartridge, disc or washer depending on the tap.

If your taps are old and corroded, we can quickly remove and replace bathroom and kitchen taps. We can also add shut off hoses if they are not present, so it’s easier to undertake tap repairs and replacements in the future.

Sinks & Basins

The same goes for kitchen sinks and bathroom basins. These can be quickly replaced if they are old or you have suffered a crack or a leak. Or This can be a one-off job or part of a whole or part kitchen or bathroom refurbishment if you want to change the look or feel of your kitchen or bathroom.

Wastes & Overflows

The waste and overflow system is an integral part of any sink, basin, bath or shower. Sometimes they can develop issues such as fouls, smells or leaks. The parts are cheap and quick to replace by our experienced Plumbers.

Pipework & Appliances

We can help you with your kitchen appliances. For example, your dishwasher and washing machine must be served by cold water pipes. Unfortunately, these pipes are not always located in the right places, or you may require a new pipe for a new appliance.

We can fit new pipes or rearrange the pipework if required. We can also plumb these appliances in for you.

Waste Disposal Units

Waste disposal units are a handy addition to any kitchen. The unit is placed out of the way underneath your sink. Add your food waste, and it will be cut up into fine particles and pumped directly into the sewer: a clean, efficient and environmentally friendly method of disposing of food waste.

Toilets & Showers

We undertake repairs to Toilets and Showers, including changing toilet flush mechanisms, dealing with leaks, poor shower pressure and more.

We also install new Toilets, Showers and pumps. All types are covered, including standard, back to the wall, wall hung toilets and mixer, thermostatic, digital, and electric showers.

Saniflo Systems

We can fit a Toilet anywhere in your home, a cupboard, loft, in an outbuilding, even with a Saniflo system. A Saniflo is a macerator that cuts waste into a fine slurry and pumps the waste through thin pipes over a distance to the sewer or septic tank.

If you already have a Sanifo system installed and are experiencing issues, we can undertake the necessary repairs for you.

Plumbing Emergencies

We have Plumbers available for Plumbing Emergencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Emergencies include minor leaks, major leaks and blockages in the toilet or waste pipe.

We can get a Plumber out to you within a couple of hours. Emergencies are dealt with swiftly and include no call-out charges.

Heating Controls

Heating controls have come on in leaps and bounds in recent years with the advent of Smart controls. A smart system allows you to control your central heating from anywhere in or outside your home with a smart device such as a phone or tablet. All you need is an internet connection.

We still fit traditional digital and even analogue thermostats, which should be replaced every ten years or so to ensure correct and accurate function.

Central Heating Pumps

Modern Boilers have pumps fitted internally, which can be repaired or replaced if a fault develops. Older systems, modern larger central heating systems and underfloor heating systems use additional pumps to help hot water circulation.

Some central heating faults are down to a failing or broken pump, so we offer a full pump repair and replacement service.

Cylinder Services

Central heating systems powered by a system or regular Boiler incorporate a hot water cylinder for storage.
We install and remove cylinders that are required for some Boiler upgrades.

We offer repair and servicing for cylinders also. Servicing is often overlooked when it comes to hot water cylinders but should be carried out annually. We will happily service your cylinder when we undertake your Boiler service.

If you want a backup method of heating hot water, we can install an immersion heater on your cylinder. For example, if your Boiler breaks down, you can switch on the immersion heater, which will heat the water inside of your cylinder.

Water Tanks

We install, repair and replace cold water storage tanks for householders who have a regular/traditional style Boiler.
Watertanks are located at the highest point in the home (usually the loft or sometimes a top floor cupboard).

The water tanks keep your system topped up with water and should be checked now and then to ensure they are working adequately.

Carbon Monoxide Alarms

All homes with fuel-burning appliances such as Boilers, gas cookers and gas fires should have carbon monoxide alarms fitted in the necessary areas of your home.

A carbon monoxide alarm will alert you and your family instantly if there’s carbon monoxide present. The only way to know is with an alarm, as carbon monoxide is scentless and tasteless. It can and does also kill.

Alarms can be wired into your mains electricity supply and connected, so if one goes off, they all go off. Battery versions are available also.

All our gas services include the relevant safety checks every time any work’s undertaken. If there are no carbon monoxide alarms present in the home, one of our engineers will advise and will happily fit an alarm system for you.
