Northwood, HA6, is large houses and long gardens: Edwardian and 1930s detached homes on the roads off the High Street and towards Moor Park, the Metroland semis of Northwood Hills, post-war houses on the edges, and a scatter of apartment conversions and new blocks near the station. The big plots bring the big-house problems, underground supply pipes that run thirty metres under a drive, several bathrooms off one cylinder, loft tanks and pipework that freeze, and annexes and outbuildings plumbed separately. Northwood Hills brings the 1930s problems: heating pipes in the slab, the warm patch on the carpet, the original lead under the path.
The ground rises towards Copse Wood and Mount Vernon, so pressure drops at the top and the first frost reaches the lofts there first. Water is very hard.
We cover all of HA6, including Northwood Hills and the HA6 side of Moor Park, for burst pipes, water leaks, leak detection, water through the ceiling, immersion heaters and cylinders and blocked drains, day and night.
What goes wrong in Northwood homes
- Underground supply leaks on the larger plots. A high bill, a soft lawn, a meter that creeps with every tap off. We locate before anyone digs.
- Multi-bathroom houses. Pressure and hot-water complaints that are a cylinder or a valve, not a leak, and one failed first-floor fitting that floods the hall.
- Northwood Hills semis. Buried heating pipes, bathrooms over kitchens and lead supply pipes under the front path.
- Loft tanks and roof-space pipework on the hill, freezing early.
