Unless a water appliance or faucet is running, pipes should be quiet. If you hear unusual noises from your pipes, especially after turning off a valve, it might be that you are having a problem called water hammer. This problem typically results from an abrupt change or stoppage in direction of the water flow. This causes a sudden shock wave that loosens the pipes and bangs against obstacles like the wall.
The rattling noise in your pipes might be caused by flooding of the air chambers and extreme water pressure that exists in the plumbing system. The noises might be the result of supply pipes that have not been secured properly.
Did you know that a single leaky faucet wastes thousands of gallons of water in a year? It will increase your monthly hills by a few hundred and if that was not enough, dripping faucets end up causing all kinds of plumbing issues. The inner workings of your plumbing fixtures will be worn out due to the constant dripping. This causes additional damage and you might have to replace the fixtures.

When the water pressure is non-existent or inconsistent, you might feel that you have been standing in the shower for ages without feeling clean. You are only wasting time.

Electricity is the most widely used in both homes and offices. If not handled carefully and properly, electrical problems can result in becoming a hazard for your health and property. Next to natural gas, working with live electrical wires is the most dangerous without the know-how and right tools in any home or office. So, whether it is a new installation or something as little as changing the bulb, it is recommended that you call an electrician from Builders London to conduct the job safely and carefully.
With that said, there will be times when you would require an emergency electrician.

The blowing of fuse from time to time is normal, but when this happens too frequently, it is a sign that there is a serious problem in the electrical system of your home or office. This typically happens when the system is drawing more electricity than what the fuse is capable of handling. You might be tempted to change the fuse yourself, but it is best to contact an electrician to inspect your electrical panel and diagnose the problem.
When your electrical appliances or switches are feeling warm to touch without any reason, you might be looking at an electrical problem. For instance, you did not use your microwave and yet, it is warm when you touch it. Call one of our electricians immediately.
It is abnormal for lights to flicker. Some of the reasons why this might happen are when you turn on an electrical appliance that draws a lot of power or it might happen randomly. Flickering of lights typically means that there is an electrical demand that is higher than the power outlet. You need to call an electrician who will check the problem and if required, install additional power outlets so that you do not face this issue.
If a power point is providing electricity to several appliances at once, it is a sign that you must install more power outlets. Overloaded power points might lead to causing huge stress on your entire electrical system. This can result in causing electrical problems which might be quite expensive to repair.
If you have not installed new appliances recently, but your electrical bill seems to be increasing month on month, the chances are that your electrical system is having a problem and needs to be checked immediately.

Are you in the planning stage of a full-blown bathroom installation? If so, the task list might seem challenging. As providers of premium bathroom installation services in London, Builders London feels that it will make it easier for you if you know what to expect. So, take a look below to get an idea of the average bathroom installation process so that you can stay prepared.
Once the design phase of the bathroom is complete, the next step is to start the installation work. For that, our installers will help you get the room ready by removing all the old fixtures. This will make sure that the new installation goes smoothly. Even you can remove all of your belongings before the installers arrive at your location. As for the existing fittings and fixtures, you can leave that to the professionals.
This step might even involve the central heating and water systems being switched off so that there is no chance of a leak. Also, be prepared for a noisy time because when the bathroom tiles, fixtures and plaster is being removed to make way for new installations, things might become noisy. However, our installers always attempt to cause as little disruption as possible.
Before we add any fixture to the bathroom, our electricians check if the electrics are doing their job. This means that electricity should reach all the right places in your bathroom. For instance, lighting, shower and other electrical requirements. If you remodelling your bathroom, but not changing the position of the fixtures, this might not be required. However, it is always good to let the electrician carry out the necessary checks so that there are no complications after all the fixtures have been fitted.
Preparing the bathroom walls for the new fixtures is an important task and also to make sure that the plumbing pipework is not damaged. If there are any leaks or clogs, the problems should be resolved before the installation of new fixtures and not after. In case the pipework needs to be replaced or any leak needs to be repaired, it should be done before the bathroom installation process. Once the new fixtures are put in place, it will be difficult to rework and also it will be expensive.
At Builders London, we not only work with bathroom installers but also with electricians and plumbers. They will make sure that everything is fixed up so that your bathroom installation is done correctly and effectively.
After the fixtures have been installed properly, it is time for bathroom tiling to be added. If you have opted for tiling, it will probably be around the sink, bath and maybe on the floor. This is going to make your bathroom waterproof and also stop water ingress behind the tiles where problems might grow due to dampness. Even floor tiling can be done at this stage. If you need any plastering work, it can also be done at this stage.
This is the last and final stage. It involves the final checks and touches to ensure that everything is working fine. This stage might even involve fitting cupboards or shelves. We can even help you with adding and decorating light fixtures. Before leaving your property, our installers will check all the plumbing and electrics to ensure that everything is functioning properly so that we can sign off the job as complete.
