Plumber in Cringleford
Cringleford is two villages in one: the old bit by the river, and several thousand new homes built over the last fifteen years. They need completely different things from a plumber.

Working in Cringleford
We are in Cringleford constantly — it is next to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and the UEA, and the new estates off Round House Way have brought a lot of young families into the village.
The new-build side runs modern kit: system boilers, unvented cylinders, sometimes underfloor heating downstairs. The older village properties around the Yare are a different job entirely.
Where we get called
- Round House Way and the new estates
- Cringleford Village and the River Yare

What goes wrong in Cringleford
The housing here has its own habits. These are the jobs we get called to most.
Unvented cylinders need annual attention
The pressurised cylinders in these new builds have an expansion vessel and a pressure relief valve that need checking yearly. Skipped, they discharge through the outside tundish — that dripping pipe on your wall is a fault, not a design feature.
Underfloor heating manifolds
Where downstairs is underfloor, the manifold is usually in a cupboard nobody has opened since handover. Actuators stick and loops air-lock. It is a straightforward fix if you know where to look.
New-build snagging that outlives the warranty
Slow-filling baths, a shower that runs cold when a tap opens elsewhere, radiators plumbed in the wrong order. All fixable, and all much easier to argue about while the builder's warranty is still live.

What people say
Faultless service. I posted a leaky toilet in a property we let out. Archie answered the same day. He attended the next day. He fixed the problem, he cleaned up behind himself and he made sure my tenants were happy. He took before and after photos and sent them to me. He submitted an invoice with a full report of work carried out and why.
