Water Efficiency & Maintenance

Kitchen & Bathroom Plumbing Maintenance

Small leaks can lead to big bills. A single constantly running toilet can waste hundreds of litres of water a day. Our plumbing health checks are designed to identify and fix these “silent” issues. We also install water-saving devices, pressure-reducing valves, and Surestop switches, giving you the ability to turn off your mains water with a simple flick of a switch—essential for peace of mind when you’re away from home.

The most used rooms in your home deserve the best care. We provide expert kitchen plumbing services, including the installation of dishwashers, washing machines, and high-quality kitchen sinks.

In the bathroom, we ensure your sanctuary stays functional. Whether it’s sealing a leaking bath, replacing a basin, or troubleshooting a low-pressure shower, our engineers bring 25 years of “know-how” to every job. We are also experts in saniflo installations and repairs, helping you add facilities to basement or loft conversions where traditional drainage isn’t an option.

Frequent plumbing queries

How much does a plumber cost in the Dover area?

Plumbing costs vary depending on the complexity of the job. We provide transparent, competitive quotes for all local plumbing repairs. Contact us for a free estimate on your specific project.

What should I do if a pipe burts?

First, locate your main stopcock and turn it clockwise to shut off the water. Then, turn on all your cold taps to drain the system and contact DP Maxwell Plumbing & Heating for an emergency burst pipe repair.

Can you fix a noisy plumbing system?

Yes. “Water hammer,” or banging pipes, can often be solved by securing loose pipework or installing a water hammer arrestor. Our fault-finding service can quickly identify the cause of noisy plumbing.
