Plumber & Gas Engineer Serving Bitterne Manor

Older Homes, Older Plumbing — I Know What to Look For

Bitterne Manor sits close to the eastern bank of the Itchen and contains some of the area's oldest housing stock. Victorian and Edwardian properties here often have original cast iron pipework, lead sections, or gravity-fed heating systems that require specific knowledge to work on safely and effectively.

I regularly attend properties near Bitterne Manor Road and Manor Farm Road. Lead pipe replacement is something I carry out fairly often in this area — if your property was built before the 1970s, it's worth getting the pipework checked, particularly the section from the street into the house.

My property in Bitterne Manor was built before 1950 — what plumbing issues should I be aware of?

Pre-1950 properties in Bitterne Manor often have lead pipework on the water supply side, cast iron waste pipes, and gravity-fed hot water systems. Lead pipes are the most important to address — I can inspect and replace these, and advise on the most cost-effective approach for your property.

Do you carry out boiler replacements in Bitterne Manor?

Yes — including fitting a new combi boiler to replace an older conventional system or back boiler. Many Bitterne Manor properties are good candidates for upgrading to a modern combi, which removes the need for a hot water tank and usually improves efficiency significantly.
