What we do in Scarborough

Post-war highsets in Scarborough were built with simple layouts: a laundry under the house, one bathroom upstairs and pipes running down the stumps. Hot water units from earlier decades are frequently due for replacement, and the new unit is matched to current household demand. Building in the undercroft is common, so relocating a laundry or adding a downstairs toilet is a regular request.

Elsewhere in Scarborough, the housing changes. Apartments and townhouses in Scarborough share risers, stop valves and sometimes hot water plant, so a leak in one unit can reach the one below. We locate the right isolation point, keep neighbours informed and work within the access windows the building allows.

Questions we hear in Scarborough

Is Scarborough on Unitywater water, and can you work on it?

It is. Unitywater looks after the mains; we look after everything on your side of the meter, from taps and water heaters to drains within the lot.

Why does my Scarborough drain keep blocking?

Repeat blockages usually point to roots, a sagging pipe or a broken joint. We clear the line, then tell you what is causing it.

How long does a hot water replacement take in Scarborough?

A like-for-like changeover is usually finished within a few hours. Switching type, such as electric to heat pump, takes longer because of new connections and placement.

Do you work on older homes in Scarborough?

Yes. Post-war highsets with built-in undercrofts make up much of Scarborough, and we are used to the mix of old and new pipe materials found in them.
