Local knowledge

Plumbing across Newport.

Newport spans a wider range of property age than anywhere else I cover, and the work tracks it closely. The Victorian terraces around the city centre, Maindee and Pill carry original pipework, shared drainage and system water that decades of alterations have usually left without any inhibitor in it. The estates built from the 1970s onwards are more predictable, though many had combis fitted in the same waves and those cohorts now reach end of life together.

On the lower ground near the Usk, drainage runs often have very little fall. Solids settle rather than being carried away, so blockages build gradually instead of appearing overnight, the tell-tale is a drain that has been getting slower for months. Jetting clears it, but where the fall is genuinely inadequate it will return, and a camera survey is the honest way to establish that rather than selling repeat clearances.

Newport's water is soft, so descaling is not what an annual service is for here whatever national advice implies. Sludge and corrosion are the real threat to a boiler locally. Shared drains and runs beyond your boundary generally became Welsh Water's in October 2011; highway gullies are Newport City Council's. I cover the whole city including Caerleon, Rogerstone, Bettws, Ringland and Duffryn.

Plan of three terraced houses showing which drainage pipes the homeowner is responsible for and which are Welsh Water's Each house has a short drain serving only itself, which is the homeowner's responsibility. Those join a shared drain running behind all three houses. Because that shared drain serves more than one property it is usually Welsh Water's, even where it runs inside a garden. Everything beyond the rear boundary is also Welsh Water's, and it connects to the public sewer. Terraced houses rear boundary public sewer your drain serves only you shared with your neighbours past your boundary Usually yours Usually Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water's
Since 1 October 2011 most shared drains and lateral drains transferred to Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water. The short run serving only your house, inside your boundary, stays yours, but the moment a pipe serves more than one property, or crosses your boundary, it is usually theirs. On a terrace that is very often the exact pipe that has blocked. Highway gullies in the street are the council's. If you are unsure, it is worth checking before you pay anyone.

Paul, who runs Cardiff & Caerphilly Plumbers.

Meet Paul

Hi, I'm Paul.

I started Cardiff & Caerphilly Plumbers because I kept hearing the same three stories: the plumber who never rang back, the quote that doubled halfway through, and the mess left behind in someone's hallway.

So I keep it simple. You ring, you get me, not a call centre. I turn up when I said I would, I explain what's wrong in plain English and what it'll cost before I start, and I clear up after myself.

I've been improving and maintaining homes for over 15 years, and I'm based at Royal Buildings on Stanwell Road in Penarth.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Which parts of Newport do you cover?

The whole city and surrounds, including Maindee, Pill, Caerleon, Rogerstone, Bettws, Ringland and Duffryn. I aim to be with you inside 90 minutes on emergencies.

My drain gets slower every month rather than blocking suddenly.

That usually means limited fall rather than an obstruction, which is common on the lower ground near the Usk. Solids settle instead of being carried away. A camera survey will tell you whether clearing it will hold.

Do I need to worry about limescale in Newport?

No. The water here is soft. Advice about descaling is written for hard water areas of England and does not describe conditions in south Wales.

Who is responsible for the drains outside my property?

Highway gullies are Newport City Council. Shared drains and pipe runs beyond your boundary generally became Welsh Water's in October 2011. Only pipework inside your boundary serving you alone is normally yours.
