Plumbing problems that are common in Saffron Walden
Saffron Walden’s water comes from the chalk and is among the hardest in the region. You can usually see it in the kettle, but it also shortens the life of the plumbing you rely on every day. Tap cartridges start to drip or turn stiffly, toilet fill valves and flush valves stick and keep running, thermostatic shower valves lose their temperature control and shower heads clog. Many of these calls are a straightforward part swap, and we will tell you when descaling is enough and when the part needs replacing.
Older houses in the town centre and conservation area
Much of central Saffron Walden is a conservation area, with many listed homes. In these houses the plumbing has usually been added to over many years, so bathrooms are often a long way from the water supply, pipes run through floor voids and old chimney breasts, and some cottages still have cold water tanks in the roof. Older terraces may also share a single water supply pipe with their neighbours, which is why low pressure or a leak can affect more than one house. If you live in a listed building, changes that alter its character can need listed building consent from Uttlesford District Council, so we plan any new pipe routes carefully and agree them with you first.
Newer homes on the edge of town
The larger developments built around the outskirts of Saffron Walden mostly have mains-pressure plumbing, with a combi boiler or an unvented hot water cylinder. Common problems here are weeping push-fit joints behind bath panels and kitchen units, a failed pressure reducing valve, a tundish that is dripping on an unvented cylinder, and showers that lose flow as scale builds up. A dripping tundish should be looked at promptly, because it can mean a safety valve on the cylinder is letting by.
