Pricing & payment, Cancellation & refunds

Before you book

how to choose the right brass valve size

Measure the external pipe diameter or check the stamped thread markings on your existing fitting. Our technicians confirm the millimeter dimensions against CW617N brass specifications before booking your installation. We ensure thread standards match British Standard Pipe sizing.

what is cw617n dezincification resistant brass

CW617N is a certified European brass alloy engineered to prevent zinc loss in warm or acidic water. This metallurgy stops the fitting from turning porous or brittle over years of service. It maintains structural strength under high system pressures.

can you service a flat without a lift

Yes, our Cardiff specialists carry tool cases and boxed fittings directly up stairs to any floor. Please notify us during your booking if access requires gate codes or specific parking permits. Same-day Cardiff technician dispatch is scheduled for bookings confirmed before 11:30.

how is payment handled after job completion

Payment takes place directly upon completion of the work on site. We accept cash upon completion or direct bank transfer immediately following inspection. We do not accept card payments.

Twelve-Month Mechanical Workmanship Guarantee

Every brass component we supply and fit is guaranteed against mechanical failure and leaks for twelve months. If an installed valve or rebuilt cartridge weeps or fails under normal use during this period, we return promptly and rectify it at no cost to you.
