Privacy & Cookie Policy
Last updated 21-09-2025
Information we collect
- We collect only the information that is necessary to provide our plumbing and heating services, such as:
- Your name and contact details (phone number, email address, address) when you make an enquiry or booking.
- Information you provide in messages or forms submitted via our website.
- Limited technical information when you visit our website (see cookies section below).
- We do not collect or store payment card details through our website.
How we use that information
- Respond to your enquiries and provide quotes.
- Arrange and carry out plumbing and heating services.
- Manage invoices and payment records.
- Improve our website and customer service.
- Comply with legal obligations (e.g. tax records).
- We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties.
How we use that information
- Damaged flue cap – A cracked, missing, or aged flue cap leaves the flue exposed to rain and debris.
- Poor flue installation – If the flue isn’t correctly sealed where it exits the wall, rainwater can easily seep into the boiler casing.
- Condensate pipe issues – As mentioned, if the condensate pipe connects to a blocked downpipe, water can backfill into the boiler unless an air break is fitted.
- Worn seals – Over time, seals within the flue or casing can degrade, allowing rainwater to trickle down into the combustion chamber.
