Plumber in Hellesdon
Hellesdon sits close enough to base that it is effectively city work, and the housing stock is old enough to keep us busy on heating systems rather than bathrooms

Working in Hellesdon
From the Boundary roundabout out towards the airport, Hellesdon is one of the quickest calls we take. If water is coming in, it is usually a same day job and often a good deal sooner.
Most of it is interwar and post-war semi-detached — solid, well-built houses that are now running heating systems two or three generations behind the plumbing. Middletons Lane, Reepham Road and the streets around them are full of them.

What goes wrong in Hellesdon
The housing here has its own habits. These are the jobs we get called to most.
Gravity-fed systems on their last legs
Cold tank in the loft, cylinder in the airing cupboard, and a pump that has been whining for two winters. Common here, and usually the reason the upstairs shower is weak.
Microbore under the floors
A lot of the seventies heating upgrades used microbore pipe. It sludges up faster than 15mm, which is why one radiator stays cold no matter how often you bleed it. That is a flush job, not a bleed job.
Cast iron soil pipes
Original cast iron soil stacks are still standing on plenty of these houses. They corrode from the inside at the joints, and the first sign is usually a damp patch rather than a leak you can see.

What people say
I am so happy with the excellent work carried out by Archie on my new shower tray. Will definitely be recommending to family and friends.
