Bigger houses, more places for water to hide

Cheadle Hulme is largely generously sized 1930s and post-war detached and semi-detached housing, and a great many of these homes have been extended, had loft conversions, or gained an en-suite or downstairs cloakroom over the years.

Every one of those additions meant pipework being run somewhere it was not originally designed to go: through a loft that is now a bedroom, along a flat roof void, under a screeded extension floor. When something fails in one of those runs, the water has a long and unpredictable route before it becomes visible.

This is the single most common reason we get called to a Cheadle Hulme property after someone else has already been out and not found it. Later additions are where we look first.

Hot water systems

Most homes here run a system boiler with a hot water cylinder rather than a combi, simply because the properties have too many bathrooms for a combi to serve properly. Cylinder failures, stuck motorised valves and failed cylinder thermostats are our routine hot water calls. All are repairs. None of them require a new boiler, whatever you may have been told.

Gardens, trees and drains

Mature gardens and long-established trees are part of what makes the area attractive, and they are also why we see root ingress in older clay drain runs. If your drain blocks in the same spot every year or two, roots are the likely reason and clearing it repeatedly is not the answer. We will tell you when a run genuinely needs relining rather than clearing again.

Typical emergencies here

• Ceiling leaks traced back to en-suites and loft conversions
• Hot water failures on cylinder-fed systems
• Root ingress and recurring drain blockages
• Burst pipes in unheated garages and outbuildings
• Failed outside taps split by frost

Reaching you

Cheadle Hulme is reached from the A5149 and the A34 bypass, with junction 3 of the M60 giving us access from the north and the A555 relief road serving the southern side and Woodford. Access here is generally straightforward outside school run times on the A5149.

What to do while you wait

Shut off the internal stopcock. In an extended property there may be additional isolation valves serving the newer sections, so check under any later kitchen or utility installation as well. If a ceiling is bulging with water, do not stand under it, and put a container down before piercing it.
