FAQs
Tap Repair in Maidstone: FAQs
Do you provide tap repair across all of Maidstone?
Yes, we cover the ME14, ME15 and ME16 postcode areas in full, including Allington, Barming, Loose, Penenden Heath, Tovil, Weavering, Bearsted.
Why does my tap keep dripping after a repair?
A repeat drip is usually a sign the cartridge or washer wasn't the only worn part, or that mineral scale has damaged the seat inside the tap body — in that case, replacement is usually more reliable than a further repair.
Can you match my existing tap style?
We can usually source a close match or, where an exact match isn't available, advise on a suitable replacement — bring photos or the make and model if you know it.
Does flood risk from the River Medway affect extensions in Maidstone?
For properties in flood risk areas, extension design may need to take flood resilience into account, and a flood risk assessment can be required as part of a planning application. We check the Environment Agency flood mapping for your property during feasibility.
