Old Mill is the town centre, built around the canal and the brick buildings that once spun and
dyed cloth. Today those buildings hold studios, cafés, restaurants, and flats above the shops. It
is our smallest area by map and one of the busiest: two vans work here, and the weekday hours run
later for businesses that can only shut their water off after closing.

The plumbing is the oldest we work on. Many buildings still drain through cast-iron soil stacks
that run the full height of the building, with lead or galvanized branches added over the years.
When a stack cracks, the leak shows up in the flat or shop below, so the first job is often finding
which floor it comes from. We repair stacks in sections and replace the worst joints with modern
couplings rather than tearing out the whole run.

Restaurants and cafés bring their own work. Grease traps fill quickly, and the shared lines under
Granary Yard and Canal Bend clog when they are not jetted. Most of our commercial customers here
are on a regular schedule, done before opening so the kitchen is ready for the day.

Homes are mostly walk-up flats, two to four floors without a lift. We carry light and leave the
drain machines at the kerb with the hoses run up the stairwell, so tell us your floor when you
book. There are no tankless or whole-house filtration installs in Old Mill: the buildings share
flues and risers, and most are managed by their owners' associations.
