Working in Old Mill
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.

What to know in Old Mill
- Cast-iron soil stacksThe mill buildings and the terraces around Foundry Square still drain through cast-iron stacks, some over a hundred years old. Rust at the joints causes slow leaks that show up as stains in the flat or shop below.Stacks
- Grease traps on every blockCafés and restaurants on Granary Yard and Canal Bend share old drain lines. We service grease traps on a schedule and jet the line to the street before it backs up into a kitchen.Restaurants
- No vans on Weaver's LaneThe lane is pedestrian-only. The van stops at Foundry Square and the plumber carries the tools in, which adds ten minutes we never bill.Parking
- Under 60 minutes for emergenciesOld Mill is small and a van is often already in the centre, so a leak through a shop ceiling usually gets a plumber within the hour.Response

Reviews from Old Mill
Water was coming through the ceiling of our café below the flat on a Sunday. They answered straight away, were here in 40 minutes, found the failed washing machine hose and had us open for lunch.
Booked to replace a corroded section of galvanized pipe under the stairs. The job grew when the next joint crumbled too, and the visit ran an hour over. Solid repair, but I would have liked a call before the extra time started.
No hot water on a Monday morning. The element had burned out and the thermostat was weak, so both were replaced the same day. Good work; I only wish the arrival window had been shorter than four hours.

You're right, Ben. The rule is to stop and price the extra before starting it, and that didn't happen. We refunded the extra hour, and every plumber now confirms added work by text first.

Kitchen sink backed up for the third time in a month. He ran a camera down first, showed me the grease build-up on the screen, then jetted the line. Two months on, it drains in seconds.

Old Mill questions
All questions
Can you work on our restaurant before it opens?
Yes, from 7:00 on weekdays and Saturdays. Grease trap service and drain jetting are booked before the first deliveries.
Water is coming through my ceiling from the flat above. What do I do?
Turn off your own stopcock in case the leak is yours, then call us. We find the source upstairs, stop it, and tell both flats and the owners' association what we found.
Why don't you install tankless heaters in Old Mill?
Most flats here have no outside wall for a vent and share a flue with the rest of the building. We repair and replace tank water heaters instead, and tell you which size fits your flat.
