Plumbing in Redfield

Redfield sits on the eastern side of the inner city, between Lawrence Hill and Easton to the west and St George to the east. Church Road is its main street, busy with independent shops, takeaways and cafés, and the surrounding side streets are almost all Victorian terraced houses built close together on a tight grid. The houses tend to be modest in size, often with a small yard at the back rather than a garden, and many front straight onto the pavement. Parking is tight and the streets are busy, so we plan visits to get in and out with as little fuss as possible.

Those terraces are popular with families, first-time buyers and landlords, and many have been modernised more than once. A new kitchen here, a shower over the bath there, perhaps a downstairs toilet squeezed under the stairs. Each change adds joints and connections to pipework that may already be decades old. Where homes are let, small faults like a dripping tap or a loose toilet seat can sit unreported between tenancies until they become a bigger leak. Space is tight in most of these homes, so pipes are often boxed in, run under floorboards or hidden behind kitchen units. That makes a small leak easy to miss until it marks a ceiling or lifts a floor. Back yards also hold gullies that collect leaves, grease and grit from kitchen waste.

Common Redfield jobs

• Under-stairs toilet and cloakroom plumbing
• Washing machine and dishwasher connections that leak
• Low pressure on showers fitted over baths
• Blocked kitchen sinks and outside gullies
• Worn stop taps that will not turn off fully

For landlords and tenants

A fair share of Redfield homes are rented, and we regularly work for landlords, letting agents and tenants. If you are a tenant, check with your landlord before booking work, as they normally arrange and pay for repairs. If you are a landlord, a quick check of the stop tap, taps and toilets between tenancies can catch problems early. We can also report back on what we found so you have a clear record of the job. For anything serious, such as water coming through a ceiling, call our emergency plumbers first and sort the paperwork later. Clear contact details help too. Leave the tenant’s number with us, tell us how to get in, and we can arrange a time that suits everyone. Free quotes, usually given over the phone, make it easy to decide before anyone books time off work.
