Bowthorpe is home. The van is parked here, which makes NR5 the one postcode where "we will be with you shortly" is not a figure of speech.

Working in Bowthorpe
Bowthorpe was planned as three villages — Clover Hill, Chapel Break and Three Score — and built out from the late seventies onwards, with Three Score added far more recently. That gives one small area about forty years of spread in how the houses are put together.
Being based here means no travel on the estimate and, for a genuine emergency, the shortest possible wait. It also means we know these streets: which ones have the stopcock in the front garden and which have it under the stairs.

What goes wrong in Bowthorpe
The housing here has its own habits. These are the jobs we get called to most.
Late-seventies estate plumbing, now well past its first refit
The original Bowthorpe housing is on its second or third boiler and often its first full rewire of the heating. Microbore under the floors, and radiators that were never rebalanced after somebody added a conservatory.
Three Score is a completely different job
The newer Three Score houses run sealed systems, unvented cylinders and smart controls. The faults are pressure loss, sticking actuators and a thermostat nobody ever paired — not sludge.
Shared parking courts and access
A fair bit of Bowthorpe puts the parking away from the front door. Worth mentioning on the phone if the job needs a bath or a boiler carrying in, so we bring the right kit.

What people in Bowthorpe 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.
