Mains water pressure upgrade with new accumulator in our Widnes 4-bed detached. New thermostatic mixing valve at the cylinder for safer hot water. Total ยฃ3040 over 2 days. Old galvanised pipework disposed of safely - WEEE-compliant. Boiler runs much quieter than the old one.

Mains water pressure suddenly dropped to a trickle - plumber from BestBuilders responded within 3 hours. New stop tap fitted alongside a new isolation valve for future works. Cost ยฃ645 all-in. Followed up by phone the next day to check everything was still working.

A full freeze-thaw winter and zero plumbing issues. Plumber we found via BestBuilders in Widnes oversized the flow-and-return pipework so we could add radiators easily later. Total ยฃ4655. Genuinely no part of the install I would change.
