How do you know if you have a radiator leak?If you suspect a radiator leak, here are some signs to look out for: Damp patches or water pooling around the base of the radiator. A noticeable drop in the pressure on your heating system, causing it to stop working efficiently. A hissing sound or water noises coming from the radiator when the heating is on. Cold spots on the radiator, which might indicate air or water escaping from the pipes. Rust or staining around the radiator, which can be a sign of internal leaks. If you notice any of these issues, contact Fastfix London.

How can I unclog a toilet?If you’re facing a clogged toilet, here are some steps you can take: Use a plunger: Place the plunger into the toilet bowl, making sure it covers the drain opening. Push down gently at first, then increase the pressure in a rapid, consistent motion. Keep plunging for about 15-20 seconds, and then try flushing. Try a toilet auger: If the clog persists, a toilet auger (a long, flexible tool) can be inserted into the toilet drain to break up or retrieve the obstruction. If these methods don’t work, reach out to Fastfix London.
