Sneinton (NG2)'s a rapidly changing area,Victorian terraces being renovated alongside new apartment blocks near the city centre. Plumbing varies wildly: some properties have been fully modernised, others are still running on lead pipes and cast iron drains from the 1800s.
The Victorian terraces around Sneinton Dale and Carlton Road often have DIY plumbing bodges from decades of landlords and tenants trying to save money. We've seen some creative pipework,washing machines plumbed into bathroom waste, outdoor taps fed from kitchen sinks, radiators that don't match the boiler capacity. The newer conversions and apartments near Sneinton Market are generally better, but we still get called for leaking showers and blocked sink wastes. Clay drains under these old streets crack and collapse,tree roots, ground movement, and age all play a part.
Sneinton's close to the city centre, so we can get there quickly. If you're in a rental, we're used to working with landlords and letting agents. If you've bought a fixer-upper, book a visit and we can advise what's urgent after we've inspected everything. We deploy either employed plumbers or approved subcontractors across NG2, depending on the job and availability.
