Plumbing in Bedminster
Bedminster is south Bristol’s historic centre, with East Street and North Street as its main shopping streets. It grew rapidly in the Victorian era alongside the tobacco industry, and the big red-brick factory buildings are still landmarks today.
Most homes are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many with back additions housing the kitchen and bathroom. Original clay drains often serve several houses. Supply pipes may include old lead or iron, depending on what’s been replaced. Bristol Water says homes built before the 1970s could have lead pipework.
Common Bedminster jobs
- Blocked drains and gullies at the back of terraces
- Leaks under back-addition floors
- Old stop taps that won’t turn
- Bathroom refits in compact terraced bathrooms
- Radiators and heating pipework
Low-lying streets and heavy rain
Parts of Bedminster are low-lying, close to the New Cut and the river. Heavy rain is when slow drains and blocked gullies show themselves. Keeping outside gullies clear makes a real difference.
