— Our Process
How It Works
Report & Diagnosis
Tell us the issue or arrange a site visit. We locate the fault quickly using stopcock checks and targeted inspections, then explain the cause and options.
Planned Repair or Install
For reactive jobs we isolate, repair or replace fittings and pipe sections with neat connections. For new builds we deliver first-fix pipe runs, hot/cold layouts and second-fix final connections.
Test, Commission & Closeout
All work is pressure-tested and visually checked. We leave clear access points, label isolation valves where required and provide a written job summary and aftercare notes.

Why Choose General Plumbing?
28 Years' Hands-on Experience
An owner-run service backed by decades of practical plumbing work across Telford — you get the same experienced engineer on site from diagnosis to completion.
Reactive Call-outs & Planned New-build Work
Equally at home fixing an urgent leak in a Victorian terrace or coordinating first- and second-fix plumbing on one-off homes and new estates.
Practical, Trade-First Approach
Clear communication, tidy pipe runs and tradesman-standard connections — compression fittings, soldered joints or modern push-fit systems as appropriate.
Everyday plumbing built to last. From dripping taps and slow-draining sinks to hidden leaks and burst pipes, Rpk Plumbing and Heating focuses on fast, effective fixes that stop the problem and prevent recurrence. Typical work includes tap and cartridge replacement, radiator valves, replacing damaged sections of copper or plastic pipework, radiator bleeding and balancing, servicing and replacing internal traps and servicing overflow and waste connections.
Planned work for new builds and one-off homes. On new developments we provide first-fix layouts, hot and cold main design, unvented and vented cylinder connections and tidy second-fix finishes. We coordinate with builders and electricians to keep plumbing runs accessible and compliant, carry out pressure and leak tests, label isolation valves and leave a written handover. Typical tasks:
- Pipework layout and installation (first-fix and second-fix)
- Tap, shower and waste connections
- Drain unblocking and minor repairs
- Leak location, repair and pipe section replacement
