Most of Bolton’s terraces were plumbed long before copper and plastic pipe. Some still have a length of old lead supply pipe coming in under the front step, and many have pipes in cold cellars or along outside walls that freeze in a hard winter. Yard gullies and the shared drains behind the rows block far more than the drains on newer estates.

What goes wrong with the water in Bolton

Burst pipe in a cellar or under the floor

Pipes in unheated cellars and along back walls are the first to split when the temperature drops. Shut the stopcock, open the taps to drain down and catch what you can. The engineer finds the split, cuts out the damaged section and makes the run sound again.

Leak coming through the ceiling

A stain spreading under a bathroom is often a failed seal, a loose waste joint or a pinhole in a pipe below the floorboards. If water reaches a light, switch that circuit off. The source is traced and stopped without opening up more of the ceiling than it needs.

Blocked drain or overflowing yard gully

Rows of terraces often share one drain under the yards, so a blockage further along can push water up into your gully. The line is cleared, and you are told what caused it so you can stop it happening again. Grease poured down the kitchen sink is a frequent culprit.

Blocked toilet that will not flush

Wipes, nappies and too much paper are the usual cause, but in older houses the soil pipe or the drain beyond it can be the real problem. Stop flushing, as each go raises the water higher. Whether the blockage sits in the pan or further down the drain, it is cleared.

How the price works in Bolton

There is no call-out fee. It is £89 for the first hour, then £45 for each additional half hour, plus parts, the same at any time of day or night.

In Bolton the things that most change a job are access, such as a pipe behind a cellar wall or under a fitted kitchen, and whether old lead or iron pipe has to be joined to new.
