Common Plumbing Problems in Cheltenham
Blocked Drains?
Cheltenham's mature street trees cause root intrusion in ageing clay and terracotta sewer pipes. We use CCTV cameras to locate the blockage and clear it with hydro jetting or electric eels, restoring full drainage flow.
Hot Water System Failures?
Many post-war homes in Cheltenham still run older gas storage hot water systems. We commonly replace failed thermocouples, pilot assemblies, and corroded tanks, or upgrade to modern continuous flow units for better efficiency.
Low Water Pressure?
Older galvanised steel pipes in pre-1970s homes corrode internally, restricting flow. We often recommend repiping with copper or PEX for a permanent fix to improve water pressure and reduce leaks.
From Our Plumbers
"When attending leak call-outs in Cheltenham, we use electronic leak detection equipment to find hidden leaks without unnecessary digging. This saves homeowners significant repair costs and gets the problem sorted faster."

Real Plumbing Stories from Cheltenham
Professional Plumbing Work in Cheltenham
After returning home from work one evening, an elderly resident in Cheltenham near DFO noticed a plumbing issue that started small but quickly became a bigger problem. The property, built during Cheltenham's post-war brick veneer homes period, had original plumbing that had served the household well for decades but was now starting to show signs of wear. They had tried to manage the problem themselves but quickly realised it was beyond a simple DIY fix. They called us first thing in the morning, and we had a licensed plumber dispatched to the address before lunchtime.
“Jason was prompt, informative, professional, friendly and HONEST. I wasn't referred by anyone, infact never heard of them I just happened to locate them on line. Read the positive reviews and took the punt. Prices are not cheap, however competitive. I'd definitely call them again.”
— Marie ★★★★★
Our licensed plumber Jason arrived promptly and carried out a thorough inspection of the plumbing infrastructure. After diagnosing the root cause, he explained the options clearly and provided an upfront quote before starting any work. The repair was completed efficiently, and the plumbing infrastructure was left clean and fully functional.

Marie commented that the professionalism shown by our team was a refreshing change from previous experiences with other tradespeople.

Tackling Plumbing Issue at a Cheltenham Residence

With the issue causing disruption to their daily routine, they decided to call Fix It Right Plumbing for help. A neighbour who had used Fix It Right before recommended us, so they called expecting good service and were not disappointed.
