🚰 3 Plumbing Mistakes Homeowners Make (And They Can Cost You 💸)

Most plumbing problems we get called out to could have been avoided by steering clear of these common mistakes:

❌ Pouring fat, oil and grease down the sink
It might go down as a liquid, but it soon cools and solidifies in your pipework, leading to blockages and expensive repairs.

💧 Ignoring that dripping tap
A small drip might not seem like a big deal, but it can waste thousands of litres of water every year and often gets worse over time.

🚽 Flushing wipes down the toilet
Even the ones labelled “flushable” can cause major blockages in your drains and sewer pipes. Stick to flushing the 3 P’s only: P*e, Poo and Paper.

A little prevention now can save a big plumbing bill later.

We regularly get called out to fix jobs that were done cheaply the first time around — costing homeowners more money, more time, and more stress.

✅ Reviews and reputation
✅ Qualifications and experience
✅ Guarantees and warranties
✅ Communication and reliability
✅ Whether they’ll still be there if something goes wrong

At Braiden Plumbing & Heating, we believe in doing the job properly the first time, using quality materials and workmanship you can rely on.

🚨 Don’t Get Ripped Off By a Plumber 🚨

We hear it all the time from new customers…
“I wish we’d found you first.”

Not all plumbers and heating engineers are the same, and choosing the cheapest quote can sometimes end up costing a lot more in the long run 👀

Here’s a few things we’d always recommend checking before booking anyone:

✅ Check their online reviews
✅ Make sure they’re properly qualified & insured
✅ See if they can confidently answer your questions
✅ Look at their previous work
✅ Make sure communication is clear and professional

A good engineer should never make you feel uncomfortable asking questions about the work being carried out in your home.

At Braiden Plumbing & Heating, we pride ourselves on honest advice, transparent pricing and quality workmanship — backed by 750+ 5⭐ reviews across Essex 🔧🔥

How Much Does a Boiler Installation Cost? 🤔🔥

One of the questions we get asked the most is:
“How much is a new boiler installation?”

The honest answer is… it depends 👇

Things that affect the price include:
✅ The type of boiler you need
✅ The size of your home
✅ How many radiators/bathrooms you have
✅ Whether it’s a combi swap or full system conversion
✅ Any upgrades needed to pipework, flue or controls

A simple combi swap will cost less than a full heating system conversion with a new cylinder and pipework.

At Braiden Plumbing & Heating we always provide clear, honest pricing with no hidden surprises — and we’ll explain the best options for your home and budget.

We install boilers across Wickford, Billericay, Chelmsford and surrounding areas 🔧

Plumbing & heating is what we do best 🔧🔥

Boiler installations, bathroom renovations, breakdowns, leaks, servicing… that part comes naturally to us because it’s what we do day in, day out.

Posting videos on social media though? That definitely doesn’t come as easy 😂

To be honest, filming and putting ourselves out there still feels way outside our comfort zone, but we’ve had loads of positive feedback on the recent videos and messages from customers saying they enjoy watching them — so we’re going to keep showing up, stay consistent and crack on 👊

Appreciate all the support, likes, comments and shares more than you know.

Hope everyone has a great weekend 🙌
