Describe the problem and compare quotes from Cardiff plumbers.
Student houses and Victorian terraces
Student houses see heavy use, and repairs peak at the start and end of term. Blocked toilets and basins, leaking showers and broken taps are the most common calls, and landlords value plumbers who can respond quickly.
Older terraces may still have lead supply pipes and stopcocks hidden under floorboards. If yours is seized, replacing it is a quick job that makes emergencies much easier to manage.
Cardiff's soft water means limescale rarely causes repairs, but heavy rain can create damp that looks like a plumbing leak – a plumber can check the pipework first.

While you wait for a plumber
- Turn off the isolating valve on the affected fitting, or the stopcock if water is escaping.

- Check whether your home insurance covers escape of water or trace and access.
Water supply in Wales
Most of Wales is supplied by Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water from upland reservoirs, and the water is generally soft. High rainfall and steep streets mean surface water, overflowing gutters and drainage problems are common, and terraced houses in the valleys and older parts of the cities often share drains or have long runs of old supply pipe.
