Low water pressure in London, tested and put right
Swapping the shower head won’t help if a pipe is furred with limescale or a pressure valve is failing. We measure your pressure properly and pin down the cause before suggesting a fix.

“The plumbers were prompt, courteous and highly skilled. They replaced the tap and installed the new shower screen with great precision, making sure everything fit perfectly. They also took the time to explain the features and maintenance tips, which was a nice touch. The bathroom looks amazing, and everything works perfectly. I highly recommend them for any bathroom upgrades!”

“Outstanding service! They recently replaced our old toilet, and I couldn't be more satisfied. The team was on time, extremely knowledgeable, and handled the entire process seamlessly. They made sure everything was installed perfectly, and even cleaned up afterwards. The new toilet works flawlessly, and the attention to detail was impressive. If you need a toilet replaced, I highly recommend them for a hassle-free experience!”

Measured, never guessed
Low pressure usually comes down to a few familiar causes. We check each in turn instead of swapping parts and hoping.
-
Pressure test for the whole house
Static and flow pressure at the mains
-
Pressure-reducing valve
A PRV out of spec is common in London
-
Boiler pressure and flow
Combi pressure and hot-water flow checked
-
Pipes and limescale
Furred or narrow pipes choking the flow
-
Problems in one shower
A single weak shower means the valve or head
-
Stopcocks and isolation valves
Half-closed or seized valves holding it back
Find the cause, then pick the fix
There’s rarely one obvious culprit. We measure the pressure, find where it’s dropping, and tell you what it’ll take to sort — before suggesting anything.
-
Common in older London homes
Old pipes, combi systems and a pressure-reducing valve that’s drifted are all frequent causes in London housing. It’s seldom just one obvious thing.
-
First question: one shower or everywhere?
If it’s one shower, we look at that fixture or its valve. If it’s every tap, we look at the incoming supply, the boiler or a PRV. Different cause, different fix.
-
A new shower head can help — sometimes
On a gravity-fed system, a low-pressure shower head can make a real difference. It won’t help a PRV set too low or pipes clogged with limescale, so we test before suggesting one.

Tell us what’s happening
One shower or every tap? Sudden or gradual? Ring, use the form, or WhatsApp us. It points us to the likely cause before we arrive.
-
Tested and priced
Your engineer measures the pressure properly and explains the drop. You get a price for the fix before any work begins.
-
Sorted and re-tested
We put the valve, pipes or boiler right, then test the pressure again so you can see the change.

Things people ask us
Why has my water pressure gone down?
Often limescale in the pipes, a pressure-reducing valve that’s drifted, a boiler pressure fault, or now and then a problem with the mains supply. We test instead of guessing.
Is it my boiler or my pipes?
It could be either, so we check both: the boiler’s pressure and flow, and the pipes and valves feeding the weak tap or shower.
Will a new shower head fix low pressure?
Sometimes, if your system is gravity-fed. It won’t fix a faulty valve or furred pipes, so we find the cause first rather than sell you one and hope.
What does a pressure check cost?
Ring us and tell us what’s happening — whole house or one tap, sudden or gradual — and we’ll give you the price of a visit before booking.
