A dripping overflow pipe is usually a sign that a valve, float or cistern component is not shutting off properly. It can be from a toilet cistern, cold water storage tank or another small plumbing setup.
I can help trace where the overflow is coming from, replace common faulty parts where access allows, and explain what is needed if the issue is more involved.
If you can safely take a photo or short video of the dripping pipe and any nearby tank or toilet cistern, it can help me understand the likely cause.

-
Is a dripping overflow urgent?
It depends how much water is coming out, but it is worth dealing with before it gets worse or wastes water continuously.
-
Can you tell where the overflow pipe comes from?
Usually I can narrow it down by checking toilets, cisterns, tanks and visible pipework inside the house.
-
Is an overflow normally caused by a ballcock or float valve?
Very often, yes. A worn or sticking float valve can keep filling and send water out through the overflow.
-
Do you take on full bathroom refits or gas work?
No. I specialise in small plumbing repairs and domestic fault finding. I do not take on gas work, boiler repairs or full bathroom installations.
