Plumbing
Low water pressure - diagnosed and fixed.
When the flow plummets it's frustrating and disruptive. We trace the cause - mains, internal pipework, valves or appliance - and put it right.
Get your flow back to where it should be.
Low pressure usually has a clear root cause: a part-closed stopcock, a failing PRV, scaled-up pipework, a faulty unvented cylinder, or a genuine mains supply issue. We test pressure and flow at the right points to identify which it is, then fix the actual problem rather than guessing.

What we cover
Common low-pressure causes we resolve.
Mains and stopcock issues
Part-closed or failed stopcocks, blocked filters and old lead-spec pipework are common culprits inside the house.
- Stopcock and service valve replacement
- Mains filter and PRV checks
- Flow rate testing
Hot water side only
If only the hot side is weak, the cylinder, expansion vessel or system valves are the usual suspects.
- Unvented cylinder checks
- Expansion vessel diagnosis
- Hot water supply rebalancing
Shower and tap-specific
Sometimes only one outlet is poor - typically a scaled cartridge, blocked aerator or kinked flexi.
- Aerator and head descale
- Cartridge service or replacement
- Flexi-hose replacement
Whole-home pressure boosting
Where the mains is genuinely weak, an accumulator or pump can transform the experience.
- Pressure surveys
- Accumulator install
- Whole-house booster pumps

FAQs
Common questions
Why is my water pressure suddenly low?
A sudden drop is most often a part-closed stopcock, a failing PRV, or work being done on your street's mains. We'll test and tell you which it is.
Is low pressure the same as low flow?
Not quite. Pressure is the force, flow is how much water moves through. Both matter - we measure both before recommending a fix.
Can low pressure be fixed without a pump?
Often yes - resolving a faulty valve, descaling internal pipework or correcting a stopcock issue can restore normal pressure without any boosting kit.
What if the problem is the mains supply?
We'll tell you. If your incoming pressure is below what your water company is required to supply, we'll help you raise it. If it's just a low-pressure area, an accumulator or pump may be the answer.
