What a plumber usually finds in Braintree homes
Braintree has a long history as a market and mill town, and it has grown a great deal in recent decades, so the plumbing and heating we work on varies a lot from street to street. Knowing what kind of home you have helps us bring the right parts and sort the fault on the first visit where we can.
Older homes near the town centre and Bocking
Around the town centre and in Bocking there are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, older cottages and some listed buildings. These often still have loft tanks, gravity-fed hot water cylinders, older copper or lead pipework and stopcocks that are stiff or will not shut off fully. Weak showers, noisy tanks, slow-filling cisterns and seized stopcocks are common calls, and we will check your stopcock while we are with you. If you have lead pipework we can explain the options for replacing it.
Post-war houses and estates
Many Braintree homes were built from the 1950s to the 1980s. By now the original copper pipework, radiator valves and cylinders are getting old, so we see pinhole leaks on pipe runs, weeping radiator valves, worn immersion heaters and heating systems that need a proper check before a new boiler or bathroom goes in.
Great Notley and the newer developments
Great Notley Garden Village and the newer estates around the edge of town mostly have combi boilers or unvented hot water cylinders with plastic push-fit pipework. Typical faults are weeping push-fit joints under sinks and behind bath panels, combi boilers losing pressure, dripping tundishes on unvented cylinders and condensate pipes freezing in cold weather.
Hard water in Braintree
Like much of Essex, Braintree has hard water. Limescale wears out tap cartridges, shower valves, toilet fill valves and the hot water side of combi boilers sooner than in soft-water areas. A dripping tap or a cistern that keeps running is usually a part swap rather than a full replacement, and we will tell you which makes more sense.
Gas and boiler work
Our engineers are Gas Safe registered (572792) for boiler repairs, servicing, gas safety checks for landlords and new boiler installations. If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 first; once the supply is made safe, we can find and fix the fault.

Do not force it, as an old stopcock can snap or start leaking at the spindle. If water is escaping, try the outside stop tap if you can reach it safely, turn off the electrics near any water, and call or WhatsApp us. We can free off or replace a seized stopcock so you can isolate the water in future.
A dripping tundish usually means a pressure or temperature relief valve is letting water through, often because the expansion vessel has lost its charge or a valve has worn. It should be checked soon rather than left. Call us and we will diagnose the cause and explain the repair before we start.
