Rainfall & ground movement
Crawley's loam soil contains around 26% clay, which causes ground movement that can play havoc with plumbing systems. This movement often leads to leaking fixtures and inconsistent water pressure. Our plumbers take a diagnostic-first approach, using camera inspections to identify problems before carrying out any work. We'll provide you with a detailed report on your plumbing's condition, making sure everything meets local standards.
Building Regulations & compliance
In Crawley, Building Regulations require compliance certification for plumbing work. Only registered competent persons can self-certify their trades. Tavora ensures all our plumbing services meet these regulations, and we'll provide you with a compliance certificate after each job — giving you peace of mind and protecting your property.
Pipe & material suitability
Crawley's most common pipe materials are copper and MDPE for water supply, and PVC or vitrified clay for sewer lines. Local soil conditions can take their toll on all of these over time. Our plumbers assess the condition and suitability of your existing pipework and recommend repairs or replacements based on pipe lifespan and current state, working to BS EN 806 standards throughout.
Local housing stock
With roughly 25% of Crawley's housing stock made up of flats and maisonettes, plumbing access can be tricky, particularly where there's shared infrastructure. Tree root intrusion is a common problem that can cause serious damage to sewer pipes. Our plumbers carry out thorough inspections to identify potential root risks and fit effective barriers to protect your plumbing system.
