Leaky taps, cold radiators, full bathrooms or big commercial jobs — Graham sorts it, with a smile and a bright yellow van you can't miss.
Mostly homes, happily commercial. If it carries water, Graham's your man.
Dripping taps, burst pipes, that mystery patch on the ceiling. Found, fixed, tidied up.
New bathroom, a cheeky en-suite, or swapping out a tired old sink. Start to finish.
Radiators that won't warm up, heating that's not playing ball, or pipework that needs sorting. (Boilers aside — Graham keeps to the heating side.)
The stuff nobody wants to deal with. Graham's seen it all and isn't squeamish.
Outside taps, washing machines, ballcocks, that job on the list you keep ignoring.
Bigger jobs for businesses and organisations — planned, priced properly, delivered on time. Ask about contract works.
No call-centre mark-ups, no mystery bills. Just honest rates from a one-man, one-van outfit who keeps his overheads (and yours) down.

Graham's been a plumber since 1990 — over three and a half decades of seeing every leak, layout and "well, that's not meant to do that" going. These days he works independently, serving the residents of his hometown and all around it. Big jobs, small jobs, brand-new builds and hundred-year-old cottages.
"If you know Graham, you never need to ask ‘does anyone know a plumber?’"
🐶 You might also meet George — Graham's four-legged apprentice. He mostly supervises from the passenger seat and has yet to fix a single tap, but he's excellent for morale.
Over the years Graham has delivered multiple contracts for large organisations, including:
The same care goes into a single tap as a multi-site contract — the only thing that changes is the size of the van's to-do list.
Don't just take our word for it — take theirs.
Graham came and fixed an issue I had with my downstairs bathroom toilet the same day after an emergency blockage — sorted it, no more problems since. Would recommend.
Graham has been my regular maintenance man for the last 5 years and regularly looks after the radiators and the outside piping, which causes regular issues. Thanks Graham!
A few jobs Graham's turned his hand to lately — homes and businesses across Kent.
Kitchen fitted by P Weston Carpentry · all piping & install by Graham.
An old pump on its way out, dripping and struggling · swapped for a new Stuart Turner Monsoon S2.0 — full, steady pressure back on the shower.
The old floor had rotted right through. P Weston Carpentry replaced the floor · brand-new toilet & basin supplied and fitted by Graham.

Graham looks after heating and radiators, but doesn't work on boilers or gas appliances.
Use the enquiry or booking form or call 07404 162739. You can attach photos of the problem so Graham can diagnose faster — and maybe advise before he even arrives.
A few things worth trying before you pick up the phone. Golden rule: know where your main stopcock is — it's the handiest thing in any plumbing emergency. (Graham does plumbing & heating; anything gas or boiler-related should always go to a Gas Safe registered engineer.)
Nine times out of ten it's a worn washer or cartridge. Turn off the water at the isolation valve under the sink (or the mains stopcock), unscrew the tap head and swap the washer or cartridge. Still dripping? Call Graham.
Try a plunger first, then a cupful of bicarbonate of soda followed by white vinegar and a kettle of hot (not boiling) water. Steer clear of harsh chemical drain cleaners — they can damage pipes. Won't shift? Call Graham.
Lift the cistern lid and check the float isn't stuck high and the flush valve is sealing. A worn fill or flush valve is usually the culprit — a cheap, quick swap. If it keeps trickling, call Graham.
Check the stopcock and any isolation valves are fully open, then unscrew and de-scale the tap aerator (soak it in white vinegar overnight). If pressure's low across the whole house, call Graham.
That's trapped air. Turn the heating off, hold a cloth under the valve and open the bleed screw at the top with a radiator key until water — not air — comes out. Cold at the bottom instead? That's sludge, so call Graham.
Pop a bucket underneath and turn off the isolation valve. Check the trap and waste connections are hand-tight. If it's still weeping, call Graham before it reaches the cupboard floor.
Check the water level in the cistern and the flush valve or siphon — in older loos the diaphragm perishes and needs replacing. Not sure what you're looking at? Call Graham.
Turn the water off at the stopcock. Thaw a frozen pipe gently with a warm towel or a hot-water bottle — never a naked flame — and open the nearest tap to relieve pressure. If a pipe has actually burst: water off, and call Graham straight away.
Kent's hard water loves limescale. Wrap a cloth soaked in white vinegar around the tap or shower head for an hour to dissolve it, then rinse. If the flow's still poor, call Graham.
A gurgle or a whiff usually means a partial blockage or a dried-out trap — run the taps to refill the U-bend's water seal. If the smell or gurgle sticks around, call Graham.
Pop your details in and Graham will be in touch — usually the same day. No robots, no call centres, just Graham.
Two quick options: fire off a question for a quote, or ask to book Graham in for a visit. He'll confirm a time that works.
Pop your email in and Graham can give you a heads-up on the things that matter — like when he's away, seasonal plumbing tips, or a spot on his support plan. No spam, no waffle, and you can leave anytime.
