Advice

What details should you send for a plumbing enquiry?

A short message with the room, the fixture, what changed and a photo is usually enough. You do not need to write a long explanation or know the plumbing term first.

If the problem feels urgent, say what is happening and where. Avoid overexplaining and keep the first message factual.
The useful basics

Include these five details

Room and area

Name the room, the floor if relevant and whether you are in Kensington or W8.

Fixture affected

Say whether it is a toilet, tap, shower, sink, bath or pipework issue.

What changed

Explain whether it started suddenly, got worse or only happens at certain times.

Photos

Include a wide shot of the area and one close photo if the fitting or leak is visible.

Contact preference

Say whether you would like WhatsApp or email, and include the best number or address to use.

A simple structure

A short message is enough

01

Start with the issue

For example: toilet will not flush, water is leaking under the sink, or a shower keeps changing temperature.

02

Add the location

Give the room, floor or nearby landmark so the enquiry can be understood quickly.

03

Include one useful detail

A photo, a note about what changed, or whether the water is spreading can be enough to make the message clearer.

Ready to send the details?

Send the enquiry when the details are ready.

A clear location, one photo and a short description are usually enough to start the conversation.

Send the details and the enquiry can be routed to a plumbing professional covering a confirmed area.
