Burst pipe in Crawley? Here’s how we stop it.
Crawley homes range from 1950s new town terraces to houses finished in Forge Wood in the last few years. The pipework is just as varied, so we find out what the pipe is made of and how it was joined before we cut anything.
- Split copper, plastic and push-fit joints repaired or replaced
- Leaks traced under floors and inside boxed-in pipe runs
- Airing cupboard and cylinder pipework re-made
- Every repair pressure-tested before we leave
- Wet plaster, flooring and decorating put right
Burst pipes in Crawley homes
Crawley was designated a new town in 1947, and most of its homes were built in planned neighbourhoods from the early 1950s onwards. Many of those houses are now around seventy years old. Original pipework, and the joints added during later kitchen and bathroom refits, are where we see most bursts.
In the older neighbourhoods, such as West Green, Northgate and Langley Green, the hot water cylinder often sits in an airing cupboard on the landing. When a pipe or joint lets go there, the water goes straight through the ceiling below. Turn off the stopcock first, then open the cold taps to drain what is left.
Newer estates are different. Houses in Maidenbower and Forge Wood are more likely to have plastic pipe and push-fit fittings. These are reliable when fitted properly, but a fitting that was never pushed fully home can let go years later. We check the joints either side of the failure, not just the one that blew.
A lot of people in Crawley work shifts at Gatwick or on Manor Royal, so a burst is often found after a night or a long day away. If you come home to water, call us before you start lifting carpets. We tell you what is safe to touch, and our multi-trade team can make good the damage once the pipe is fixed.
