our clients love us
I contacted Active Heating for some work to be carried out.
Lewis came around and he explained what he would be doing. He did a great job running in some pipework. He left the area clean and tidy. Lewis was very polite and respectful.

Tried a number of plumbers but Active Heating and Plumbing came back to me immediately and delivered great service by a getting the part we needed by special delivery and got someone out to fix the problem.

Blocked Drains & Toilets FAQs
Yes — we clear all types of domestic blockages, including toilets, sinks, showers, baths and outdoor drains.
Turn off the water supply (usually the isolation valve behind the toilet) and avoid flushing again. Call us immediately — we can often attend the same day.
Common causes include wipes, kitchen grease, hair, scale build-up and foreign objects stuck in the pipework. We can quickly identify the cause and remove it safely.
Yes — blocked toilets and drains are urgent issues, so wherever possible we always prioritise same-day or next-day appointments.
Not always. Many blockages can be cleared using professional plungers or drain snakes. For tougher blockages, we have high-quality cleaning tools to clear the pipe safely.
Avoid flushing wipes (even “flushable” types), don’t pour fats or grease down the sink, and install simple guards to catch hair in showers and baths.
