Plumbing services in Alton

In Alton, we’re often called out for practical fixes: taps that drip overnight, toilets that keep running, or a radiator valve that’s started leaving marks on the carpet. We focus on tidy workmanship and a clear explanation, so you know what failed and what we’ve done to put it right.

Leaking taps & dripping mixers
Tap washer replacement, cartridge swaps, tightening/renewing fittings.
Toilet repairs
Flush buttons, siphons/valves, running cisterns, leaks at base, poor flushing.
Radiator leaks
TRV leaks, valve gland issues, radiator tail leaks, small seepage checks.
Low water pressure checks
Identify whether it’s a local valve/PRV issue, mains pressure, or internal restriction.
Visible pipe leaks
Under-sink plumbing, compression joints, isolation valves, minor pipework alterations.
Water leak investigation
Practical diagnostics where you’re seeing damp patches or unexplained moisture indoors.

If you searched “plumber near me” or “plumbers close to me” — this page covers what we typically handle in Alton homes. For boiler faults specifically, you may prefer boiler repair or boiler servicing.

What homeowners usually notice

Many plumbing issues start quietly — a small drip, a bit of staining, or a toilet that seems to refill more than it should. Sorting it early helps prevent water damage and avoids bigger repairs later.

Cupboard damp

Moisture under a kitchen sink, or a slow leak around an isolation valve.

Toilet constantly filling

A worn fill valve or faulty internal parts causing a running cistern.

Flow/pressure changes

Taps that feel weaker upstairs, showers that pulse, or hot flow dropping.

Radiator valve seepage

Minor leaks around TRVs/lockshields, often after a temperature swing.

Alton homes & common plumbing issues

Alton has a broad mix of period properties, family homes, and newer developments — and plumbing issues often reflect that. We regularly help customers in Holybourne, Anstey, Medstead, Chawton, Four Marks, Beech, Lower Farringdon and around Alton town centre. From older cottages to 1970s estates and modern homes on the edge of town, the day-to-day faults can differ.

Hard water & limescale wear

Much of the area sits in a hard water zone, so tap cartridges, mixer valves and toilet internals can wear faster as scale builds up. Dripping taps and stiff controls are common symptoms.

Older properties & hidden seepage

In older homes around the town centre and nearby villages, we often see slow leaks at compression joints, ageing stop taps, and weeping radiator valves that leave intermittent staining.

Mid-century housing stock

In 1960s–1980s homes, common jobs include toilet repairs (fill/flush components) and replacing tired isolation valves under sinks and in airing cupboards.

Rural edges & pressure questions

Some rural pockets can experience variable mains pressure, especially at peak times. We’ll check whether it’s a local valve/PRV issue or a wider supply/flow limitation.

Around local points such as Alton Station, Alton Sports Centre, Chawton House and the Watercress Line, we see everything from compact flats to larger family homes — so we keep the approach simple: diagnose, explain, fix neatly.

Prefer predictable monthly cover?

Some customers prefer a monthly plan rather than paying for individual call-outs. Our tiers start with boiler-focused options, then step up to include more of the wider home — with the highest tier extending into broader areas such as plumbing and electrics. Use the guide below to compare what’s included.

How a typical visit works

Once booked, we’ll attend, assess the issue, and talk you through the fix in plain English. Many plumbing jobs are quick wins (tap cartridges, toilet fill valves, leaking radiator valves), and we always aim for a tidy finish you’re happy with.

Step 1 — Isolate & inspect

Locate isolation points, assess visible leak paths, and confirm pressure/flow behaviour.

Step 2 — Repair & test

Replace/repair the failing part, then test under normal use to confirm it’s resolved.

Step 3 — Explain

Show what failed, why it happened, and how to spot early warning signs next time.

Optional — cover

If you want monthly protection, the tier guide shows the available options.
