Dripping or broken taps in Woolwich? Voltrade plumbers repair and replace all types of kitchen and bathroom taps.
A dripping tap is one of the most common plumbing problems in UK homes. It might seem minor, but a tap dripping once per second wastes over 5,000 litres of water a year and adds unnecessary cost to your water bill.
Voltrade plumbers in Woolwich repair all types of taps including mixer taps, monobloc taps, pillar taps, and wall-mounted taps in both kitchens and bathrooms. Most tap repairs can be completed in under an hour.
Properties across Woolwich and surrounding areas including Woolwich, Woolwich town centre vary significantly in age and construction. The local housing stock - Victorian conversions, mansion blocks, new-build flats, terraced houses - means our plumbers encounter a wide range of pipework types and plumbing configurations. The very hard water supply in Greater London is one of the biggest factors in scale buildup in pipes and fittings, making regular maintenance important for SE18 postcodes.
The most common tap faults our engineers fix in Woolwich include dripping from the spout (usually a worn washer or ceramic disc), leaking from the base of the tap (often a failed O-ring), stiff or difficult to turn handles, low water pressure from a single tap, and noisy or vibrating pipes when the tap is turned on.

Yes, the water supply to the tap needs to be isolated. Most modern homes have isolation valves under the sink or basin. If not, we will turn off the main stopcock briefly. We always check before starting.
Ceramic disc taps use two flat ceramic discs that slide across each other to control water flow. They are smoother to operate and last longer than traditional rubber washer taps. They require a specific cartridge when they need replacing.
We repair and replace all major tap brands including Bristan, Grohe, Hansgrohe, Mira, and budget brands. If yours is a specialist or older model, we will let you know before starting any work.
If the tap body and mechanism are sound, a washer or cartridge replacement is usually cheaper and quicker. If the tap is heavily corroded, leaking from the body, or more than 15 years old, replacement is usually the better investment.
A persistent drip usually means the internal seal has worn. In traditional taps this is a rubber washer. In modern quarter-turn taps it is a ceramic disc cartridge. Both are quick to replace.
