Plumbing in Cotham

Cotham sits on the hill between Kingsdown, Redland and the city centre, close to the university. Its streets are lined with substantial Victorian villas and terraces, many now divided into flats or let as shared houses, and much of it is a conservation area.

In converted houses, plumbing has often been extended floor by floor, so a single flat can have pipe runs passing through other people’s homes. When a leak shows up as a stain on a ceiling, the source may be some way off. Shared houses also put a lot of pressure on showers, toilets and drains, especially kitchen sinks.

Common Cotham jobs

• Leaks in flats travelling through floors and ceilings
• Showers losing pressure or temperature in busy shared houses
• Kitchen sinks and drains blocked with grease
• Toilets running constantly, which costs money on a meter
• Radiators cold in some rooms and not others

Students and landlords

If you’re renting, tell your landlord or agent about drips and slow drains early, before they become emergencies. For landlords, we can attend the same day and deal with tenants directly.
