New estates and older homes side by side
New homes have modern systems – combi boilers or unvented cylinders, plastic pipe and compact bathrooms. Early-life issues such as leaking push-fit joints or loose fittings are common, and owners often want upgrades like better showers, outside taps or a cloakroom toilet.
Older homes bring the usual repairs and refits. Kent's hard water affects both, so scale protection is worth considering.

What the local water means for your plumbing: South East England
Much of the South East sits on chalk and limestone, so the water is generally hard to very hard. Expect limescale on taps, shower screens and heating elements, and shorter lives for valves and cartridges unless they are cleaned. Several water companies supply the region, and summer demand can lead to hosepipe restrictions in dry years – which is why some homeowners ask about water-saving fittings when they upgrade a bathroom.
For a burst pipe or a leak through a ceiling, turn the water off at the stopcock and switch off electrics near the water if it's safe to do so before calling a plumber for an urgent visit. What to do about a burst pipe.
