Comprehensive Water Pressure Solutions for London Properties

Our water pressure services provide comprehensive solutions to ensure optimal water flow in your property. We start with pressure diagnostics, identifying the root cause of pressure issues, whether it's low or excessively high pressure. For low-pressure problems, we address common causes such as blocked pipes or faulty pressure regulators, restoring normal flow. If high pressure is causing concerns, we mitigate potential damage by installing or adjusting pressure-reducing valves.

To improve pressure in areas with consistently low flow, we install booster pumps, ensuring reliable performance. Our services also include pipe repairs and replacements, addressing leaks or corrosion that can impact pressure. For consistent pressure across your property, we offer pressure balancing solutions, eliminating fluctuations.

For properties with private water systems, we handle pressure tank services, including installation, repair, and replacement, to maintain steady water supply. Additionally, we conduct water main assessments to identify and resolve issues with the main water supply that might be affecting pressure.

Whether you’re dealing with water pressure issues in a residential or commercial property, our expertise covers a variety of plumbing systems, ensuring tailored solutions to meet your needs.

  • What type of tiles should I choose?
    The best type of tiles for your project depends on various factors such as your design preferences, budget, and the level of maintenance you're willing to commit to.

For a more luxurious look, natural stone tiles like marble or travertine can add elegance to your space, although they require more maintenance.
  • How do I choose the right grout colour for my tiles?
    Grout colour can significantly impact the overall look of your tiled surface. For a seamless appearance, you can opt for a grout color that closely matches the colour of your tiles.

  • What Is The Cause Of Damp/Rising Damp?
    Damp is caused when external moisture penetrates the walls of your property. Damp is caused by external factors, so it could be attributed to damp underneath the building, high water levels outside, or it could be down to a leak or bad drainage. All buildings should have a DPC (damp proof course) which is a damp proof membrane which stops the water from getting through, however with older buildings this often isn't the case and will require a DPC injection (damp-proof injection). We would send a RedRing specialist to investigate the cause of the damp first, treat the damp itself and aim to fix the problem from the source.
  • What Is The Difference Between Mould And Damp?
    Damp and mould are often confused, and in fact it is mould that is a major problem affecting properties in the UK that is often overlooked. Damp is caused by external factors, such as leaks and high water levels – it is really out of your control, beyond getting a damp specialist in to fix it. Mould is caused by internal factors, such as lack of ventilation, moisture from cooking, showering and laundry. Mould prevention is within your control. Keep reading these FAQs for help with mould prevention.

    Signs of a plumbing leak include unexplained increases in water usage, damp or discolored spots on walls or ceilings, musty odours, and the sound of running water/drips when no fixtures are in use.

  • Where does rising damp come from?
    Damp is caused when external moisture penetrates the walls of your property. Damp is caused by external factors, so it could be attributed to damp underneath the building, high water levels outside, or it could be down to a leak or bad drainage. All buildings should have a DPC (damp proof course) which is a damp proof membrane which stops the water from getting through, however with older buildings this often isn't the case and will require a DPC injection (damp-proof injection). We would send a RedRing specialist to investigate the cause of the damp first, treat the damp itself and aim to fix the problem from the source.
