Radlett, WD7, is mostly large houses: Edwardian and 1930s detached homes off Watling Street, bigger post-war houses on the private roads, and a steady run of rebuilt and extended properties where the plumbing was done in stages by whoever was working on the house that year. Big plots mean long supply pipes under drives and lawns, outbuildings and annexes with their own pipework, pool and irrigation feeds, and several bathrooms running off one cylinder or a pair of boilers. When something fails it is rarely in plain sight.
The village sits on a ridge, so pressure drops at the top of the hill and loft tanks freeze in the first hard frost. Water is very hard, and the number of showers and bathrooms in a Radlett house means scale closes things down faster than it does in a smaller home.
We cover all of WD7, including Shenley and Aldenham, for burst pipes, water leaks, leak detection, water through the ceiling, immersion heaters and cylinders and blocked drains, 24 hours a day.
What goes wrong in Radlett homes
- Underground supply leaks. A high water bill, a soft patch on the lawn or a stopcock that never quite stops the meter. We locate the leak before anyone digs up a drive.
- Multi-bathroom houses. Pressure drops, cylinders that cannot keep up, and one failed valve on the first floor that soaks the hall below.
- Loft tanks and roof-space pipework on the larger houses: freezing, overflows and ball valves that stick.
- Annexes, garages and pool rooms plumbed separately, often with no isolation of their own.
