Local Knowledge, Straightforward Service
Most burst pipes in Swindon homes happen for one of two reasons: age-related corrosion in older properties around Old Town and Rodbourne, or frozen pipework in lofts and outbuildings during a cold snap. Either way, the priority is always the same - stop the water, find the source, and repair it properly rather than just patching over the symptom. We carry a full range of push-fit, compression and soldered fittings so we can repair copper, plastic and older lead pipework on the spot in most cases, and we're happy to provide a written report if you're making a claim with your home insurer.

Burst Pipe Repair FAQs
Why do pipes burst in cold weather?
When water freezes inside a pipe it expands, and that pressure can split the pipe wall. The burst usually only becomes obvious once the ice thaws and water starts flowing again - which is why so many bursts appear right after a cold snap ends.
Can you repair the pipe without ripping out my walls?
Wherever possible, yes. We use leak detection techniques to pinpoint the exact location before opening anything up, which keeps repair work as minimal as possible.
Will you help with my insurance claim?
We can provide a written report describing the cause and repair, which most insurers accept as supporting evidence for a claim.
Do you also fix the damage caused by the leak?
We focus on the plumbing repair itself. For larger reinstatement work such as plastering or flooring we're happy to recommend trusted local contractors.
