A Pilton drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.

Pilton is older than most of Barnstaple, a Saxon settlement in its own right before the town grew around it, and Pilton Street still looks the part: stone and cob cottages, Georgian fronts, the almshouses partway up the hill. Behind that sits a band of Victorian terraces and newer infill climbing toward the hospital. It's EX31, five minutes from our side of town, and the age of the housing keeps us busy with leaks, burst pipes and heating systems that have quietly been failing for years.

We come in over Pilton Causeway, across the Yeo, and you're on Pilton Street within a minute of the town centre. Our honest take: this is the part of Barnstaple where the pipework lies about its age. Behind a repointed Georgian front you'll often find lead mains, iron waste runs and drains extended three separate times over a century, so we camera-check before quoting on anything structural here.

Most common Pilton jobs

• Burst pipes and seized stopcocks in the cottages on and around Pilton Street
• Tracking leaks through thick stone walls, the water rarely surfaces where it starts
• No heating or hot water in the Victorian terraces, often a cylinder on its way out
• Old clay drains meeting newer plastic at odd angles, and blocking where they join
• Low mains pressure in the oldest properties
