Plumber in Bawburgh
Bawburgh is a small village in the Yare valley, and its housing is old enough and low enough that frost and damp do most of our work for us.

Working in Bawburgh
The village sits around the ford and the church, with the golf course on one side and open farmland on the others. It is only ten minutes from base but feels a long way from Norwich.
The stock is largely period — flint and brick cottages, some listed — with modern houses filling in around them. A handful of the outlying properties are off the mains gas grid.
Where we get called
- The ford and Bawburgh Bridge

What goes wrong in Bawburgh
The housing here has its own habits. These are the jobs we get called to most.
Flint and solid walls
Flint is unforgiving to chase and awkward to fix to. Pipework here usually has to be routed rather than buried, and that is a conversation worth having before the quote rather than after.
Valley-bottom frost
Cold air sits in the valley. Pipework in outbuildings, porches and unheated utility rooms freezes here when it survives elsewhere in the county. Lagging is not optional.
Oil on the edges of the village
Some properties out towards the farmland run oil rather than gas. Different appliances, different regulations, different parts on the van — say which you have when you ring.

What people say
Had an emergency leak at my place in Bowthorpe and Archie responded quickly. He replaced the boiler efficiently, explained everything clearly, and got the job done to a high standard. Really impressed with how tidy he left everything afterwards.
