Here's what tends to bring people to call us in Truro, and what's usually behind it.
| What's happening | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Pinhole leak in older copper pipe | Cornwall's soft, acidic water checked as a likely cause of the corrosion. |
| No hot water | Often the boiler's diverter valve or a failed thermostat, rather than the boiler needing replacing. |
| Leaking pipe under the sink | Usually a worn washer or a loose joint - isolated straight away to stop water damage spreading. |
| Radiator cold at the top | Usually trapped air or a balancing issue, a quick fix once we're on site. |
| Burst pipe | Treated as an immediate priority - isolating the supply is always the first move. |
Truro's older properties and the wider Cornish countryside around it mean our emergency plumber Truro team regularly deals with tired pipework and boilers that have simply reached the end of their life. Isolated locations don't mean slower help - engineers are positioned across the region rather than working from one central spot. Describe what's happening on the phone and we'll get someone qualified heading your way.
Don't wait for the problem to get worse - call and we'll have a local plumber on the way.
The service covers the whole of Truro, from the city centre out to every surrounding neighbourhood - not just the list below, but everywhere in between as well.
We dispatch whoever's already closest. As Cornwall's county town, Truro itself is usually towards the faster end of our 30-60 minute average, while more remote addresses further along the A30 or out towards the coast can occasionally take a little longer.
It can. Cornwall's water drains off granite moorland and comes out unusually soft and slightly acidic, and that combination can be more corrosive to older copper pipework, leading to pinhole leaks rather than the limescale problems hard-water areas see.
Yes. No hot water, a boiler losing pressure or a leak under a fitting are all handled on the same call-out - just tell us what's wrong when you ring.
The whole city - Highertown, Threemilestone, Malabar, Trelander, Gloweth, Tregolls and everywhere in between, plus the rest of the South West.
Phones are answered day and night. Call and a local plumber will be sent out.
