Welcome to TM Hughes & Son. We install and repair Taps in Epping. All Tap installations and repairs are undertaken by experienced and insured Plumbers.
All Taps Installed
We install all types of Taps in Epping homes, which include:
- Pillar Taps: They work independently in pairs, one for hot and one for cold.
- Mixer Taps: Combine hot and cold water through one spout, allowing you to set the temperature before the water flows.
- Thermostatic Taps: Fitted with a special cartridge that automatically regulates the water temperature, preventing sudden changes and ensuring a consistently safe and comfortable flow.
- Monobloc mixer Taps: Require just one tap hole in the sink or basin
- Deck-mounted mixer Taps: Require two holes on the surface of the basin or bath.
- Bath Shower Mixer Tap: Includes a handheld shower attachment to turn your bath into a shower.
Tap Mechanisms
Different taps use different internal mechanisms to control water flow. We install and repair all types of Tap mechanisms.
- Compression Washer Taps: Contains a rubber washer that presses against a valve seat. Over time, the washer may wear out and cause a drip.
- Ceramic Disc Taps: Contains two rotating ceramic discs that regulate water flow.
- Cartridge taps: Contain replaceable cartridges that regulate temperature and pressure. They are popular in Epping bathrooms and kitchens.
- Ball Valve Taps: use a specially designed ball with channels that align to let water through.
Common Tap Problems
A leaking tap might appear minor initially, but the constant drip can add to your water bill and potentially cause long-term damage to fixtures. Other issues include stiff handles, noisy pipes, or weak water flow. Ageing parts cause some of these issues, while others result from improper installation. Regardless of the cause, getting your Taps fixed is a good idea.
Why Seek Professional Help?
Although some people attempt DIY Tap installation and repairs, using an experienced Plumber usually saves time and money in the long run. Professional tap fitting ensures correct installation without loosening or leaking.
If you’re having issues with your Taps, one of our Plumbers will quickly identify the root cause of a problem and undertake a quick repair. We have many tap parts in stock, so our plumbers can fix your tap quickly without revisiting them. Following the repair, your Tap will continue to provide you with many years of trouble-free service.
