Get Free QuotesHow it works

Swindon grew around the Great Western Railway works, and the railway village of stone terraces built for its workers still survives near the centre. The Old Town on the hill is older still. From the 1970s onwards, huge new areas were added in West Swindon and later North Swindon, so much of the town's housing dates from the last 50 years.

Railway terraces and 1980s estates

The railway village is a conservation area with listed terraces, where external changes may need consent and plumbing has been carefully adapted over the years. In West Swindon's 1980s estates, many homes are now on their original cylinders and pipework and due for their first big refit.

Swindon's water is hard, and limescale affects showers, taps and immersion heaters across the town.

Swindon plumbing FAQs

My West Swindon house still has its original cylinder – should I replace it?

If it's leaking or the immersion keeps failing, it's worth considering, ideally during a bathroom refit.

Can I change plumbing in a railway village terrace?

Internal work is usually fine; external changes in the conservation area may need consent.

Do Swindon plumbers cover Wootton Bassett and Highworth?

Many do. Your postcode decides which plumbers receive your request.

What the local water means for your plumbing: South West England

Water in the South West varies a lot. Bristol, Bath and much of Somerset and Wiltshire have hard water from limestone, while Devon and Cornwall are supplied largely from moorland reservoirs and the water is much softer. The region is also mild and wet, so blocked gutters, overflowing drains and condensation are as common as frozen pipes are rare – although exposed homes on high ground still need lagging in the loft.

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.
