Water and weather in North West England

The North West is supplied mainly from upland reservoirs in the Lake District, the Pennines and North Wales, so most homes have soft water and limescale is rarely a big problem. Rain is the bigger issue: it finds its way through roofs and blocked gutters, and older terraces can have leaking soil stacks and shared drains. In cold snaps, outside taps and pipes in exposed lofts are the first to freeze.

If water is escaping and you can't stop it, turn off the stopcock first, then call a plumber who offers emergency call-outs – quote requests suit work that can wait a day or two. What to do about a burst pipe.
