Plumber in Tilehurst, top of the hill.

Tilehurst sits high on the western edge of Reading, and its 1930s semis and older villas have their own plumbing character, water pressure included. We know the area well and are only up the road in Pangbourne.

Plumbing for Tilehurst's hilltop homes.

Being one of the highest points around Reading, Tilehurst has always had a reputation for temperamental water pressure, especially in the taller Victorian and Edwardian villas up near the church and along School Road. The rows of 1930s bay-fronted semis that make up much of Tilehurst are lovely houses, but their original pipe runs and old gate valves often need attention. We are used to all of it, from a pressure complaint to a full re-pipe.

Tilehurst is barely five miles from our base in Pangbourne, so we can usually get there quickly, both for planned bathroom work and for the days when something has let go.

Typical Tilehurst jobs.

Around Tilehurst the regulars are pressure complaints at the top of the hill, weeping gate valves in 1930s semis, tired shower mixers on the upper floors, and full bathroom refits in houses that have not been touched since the eighties. We arrive prepared for the hill and the age of the pipework.

Emergencies and bathrooms, both done right.

Emergency plumbing

A burst in a Tilehurst semi does not wait for the water pressure to be convenient. We answer seven days a week and get up the hill quickly to isolate it and limit the mess.

Bathroom installation

Those solid Tilehurst semis often have good-sized bathrooms hiding dated suites. We modernise them properly, from a fresh walk-in shower to a full redesign, and keep the rest of the house clean while we work.

Our bathrooms

Good to know.

Often, yes. Low pressure at the top of the hill can be down to old pipework, a partly closed valve, a failing pressure-reducing valve or a shared supply issue. We trace the actual cause rather than shrugging at it, and tell you what can realistically be improved.
Yes, and it is well worth doing. The original gate valves in older Tilehurst houses seize and weep with age. Swapping them for modern lever valves makes every future job quicker and safer.
Usually. A weak top-floor shower in Tilehurst is often a pressure or pump issue rather than the shower itself. We diagnose it honestly and tell you whether a pump, a valve or a rethink is the right answer.
