If you have a burst pipe in the early hours of a cold and frosty morning, who do you call? Well, if you live along the coast of Dorset in or around Poole or Bournemouth, the Abbots Plumbing team are the super-heroes you need dashing to the rescue!

Abbots is a caring family firm that has been in business for more than 40 years, on standby for emergencies around the clock.

When it comes to plumbing jobs in Dorset, no job is too big or too small to be handled by Abbots, and because we are locally based we can be on your doorstep in no time.

Abbots specialises in domestic plumbing and heating work – everything from installing new fittings like a shower or taps in bathrooms and kitchens, to repairing leaks and unblocking toilets. We also do plumbing and heating work for commercial properties in Dorset and Hampshire. All out gas engineers are gas safe registered.

If you are a homeowner or landlord you will know how essential it is to keep the number of a trusted and reliable plumber and heating engineer to hand. We not only respond to emergencies, but we are happy to give advice to our customers on the ongoing maintenance of their plumbing and heating systems in order to spot and fix problems before they end up causing a crisis. Proper maintenance can save you money.

HEATING SERVICES BOURNEMOUTH & POOLE

Maintenance is particularly important for your boiler and heating system, and we recommend carrying out an annual boiler service to avoid unpleasant and potentially expensive break-downs in the cold winter weather. Prevention is definitely better – and cheaper – than cure when it comes to central heating and hot water systems.

Abbots sub contract out heating work to qualified heating engineers and we do not carry out the work ourselves.

If there is a fault in your central heating system it could be increasing your heating bill, and might even be dangerous because it is putting you and your loved ones at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Radiators should heat up evenly with no cold patches, and should certainly not be leaking. These are indications of a problem with your heating system which should be investigated as soon as possible. Other signs of problems with the boiler and heating system are noises in the boiler itself or in the pipes, which could indicate low water pressure or pump failure. Abbots heating engineers can soon diagnose the problem and make repairs at affordable rates.

PLUMBING SERVICES BOURNEMOUTH & POOLE

The most common plumbing problems that we get called in to repair are dripping taps, blocked kitchen sinks and toilets that won’t stop running! Connecting up new appliances like washing machines and dishwashers is also a frequent call-out.

These are simple jobs, but our Abbots plumbing team treats them with just as much importance, efficiency and urgency as we do the larger plumbing projects which we undertake. We not only carry out plumbing repairs but we also contract to install the plumbing and drainage systems in new builds in the Poole and Bournemouth area.

Sometimes plumbing problems are more tricky to resolve, such as low water pressure that results in trickles instead of a steady stream emanating from the tap (particularly annoying for those who enjoy a power-shower!). This could be due to corrosion or limescale blocking the pipes, or a more complex issue like a leak or breech in the pipes leading into your home that might be undermining the foundations.

Whatever the plumbing problem that arises on your property it is wise to get a professional opinion rather than attempt repairs yourself.

DRAINAGE SERVICES BOURNEMOUTH & POOLE

Besides having the solution to all your plumbing and heating problems, Abbots are also experts in the field of drainage.

Our emergency response teams are ready, willing and able to respond to unblock drains and repair damage to drainage systems including soakaways and septic tanks.

Using state of the art equipment our highly qualified drainage specialists can carry out CCTV inspections, re-lining and pitch fibre renovation of pipes on your property.
