Ignite Plumbing & Heating
Plumbing Repairs & Upgrades in Norwich.
We take care of the smaller but essential plumbing jobs that keep your home working as it should. We diagnose the fault, explain the options clearly, and carry out tidy repairs or upgrades using quality parts — from taps, traps, toilets, and showers to heating controls and pipework.
Taps, fixtures, wastes & outside taps
Whether you are stopping a drip, refreshing worn fittings, or fitting a new kitchen or bathroom tap, we make sure the connections, flow, and finish are right.
- Basin monobloc taps, bath mixers, pillar taps, and kitchen pull-out spray taps
- Ceramic cartridges, washers, jump valves, and leaking gland nuts
- Garden hose bib taps with double-check valves and accessible isolation points
- Bottle traps, click-clack basin wastes, and bath pop-up waste assemblies
Showers & shower valves
A shower that leaks, runs too hot or cold, or has poor pressure is frustrating. We identify the cause and fit compatible replacement parts or units where repair is no longer worthwhile.
- Thermostatic bar valves, exposed mixers, and recessed valve cartridges
- Like-for-like replacement of faulty electric shower units
- Twin-ended and single-ended booster pumps for low-pressure shower systems
- Shower hoses, riser rails, head sliders, and flexi-connectors
Pumps & heating upgrades
Small heating components have a big effect on comfort and efficiency. We replace worn or failed parts and confirm your system is circulating and controlling heat correctly before we leave.
- Domestic central-heating circulator pumps, including common Grundfos and Wilo 15-50/60 units
- Inline shower pumps and whole-house mains pressure boosters
- Manual radiator valves and Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs)
- 2-port and 3-port motorised zone-valve actuators and heads
Sinks, toilets, appliances & minor blockages
We handle the everyday faults that interrupt your kitchen, bathroom, utility room, or cloakroom — with practical repairs rather than unnecessary replacement where possible.
- Slow-draining sink traps, bath wastes, and minor gulley build-ups
- Leaking flush valves, inlet fill valves, and doughnut washers
- Close-coupled toilet pans, seats, cistern mechanisms, and associated connections
- Washing machine and dishwasher connections, including auto-shutoff valves
Pipework, isolation & ongoing maintenance
A small leak or awkward isolation point can become a major inconvenience later. We make targeted repairs and sensible upgrades that make future maintenance safer and easier.
- Quarter-turn ball valves and lever isolation valves in accessible locations
- Pinhole pipe leaks, weeping compression joints, and failed push-fit elbows
- Float-operated tank valves, ballcocks, and overflow pipework for cold-water storage tanks
- Leak checks and practical advice to help prevent the same problem returning
Can you repair a tap or shower valve instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. A worn washer, cartridge, gland nut, or valve insert can usually be replaced without changing the whole fitting. We assess the condition and explain whether a repair or replacement gives better value before starting work.
Do you install outside taps with the right protection?
Yes. We fit garden hose bib taps with an appropriate double-check valve and a nearby isolation point, so the tap can be protected and easily shut off for winter or maintenance.
Can you replace a faulty shower pump or central-heating pump?
Yes. We diagnose the existing pump and pipework first, then fit a suitable like-for-like or upgraded replacement where appropriate. We test the system afterwards to confirm the flow and operation.
Can you connect a washing machine or dishwasher?
Yes. We connect appliances to suitable water and waste points and can fit an accessible isolation or auto-shutoff valve where needed. We always test the connection for leaks before leaving.
Do you quote before starting plumbing repair work?
Yes. After diagnosis, we explain the work required and give you a clear price before any chargeable repair or replacement begins. If there are options, we will talk you through them plainly.
