01
Trace
Work out where the water is coming from.
We start with the symptoms, accessible fittings and likely routes rather than immediately assuming the nearest visible point is the source.

Plumbing repairs and leak investigation across the Cotswolds, handled methodically and with respect for the home around the problem.

Repairs without unnecessary disruption
Water has a habit of appearing somewhere other than the original fault.
A visible drip may be straightforward. A stain on a ceiling or unexplained loss of pressure can require more careful investigation. The goal is to identify the source before opening up more of the building than necessary.
We repair leaking pipework, fittings and everyday plumbing components, and we can investigate more persistent faults where the cause is not immediately obvious.
Because we understand buildings as well as plumbing, we are conscious of finishes, access routes and the implications of any opening-up work.
02
Repair
Make the appropriate plumbing repair.
Once the cause is identified, we repair or replace the affected fitting, pipework or component where it is practical to do so.
03
Protect
Think about the room around the fault.
Leaks often happen in finished kitchens, bathrooms and decorated spaces. We work carefully and explain if access or making-good by another trade may be required.

Repairs following an isolated plumbing failure
The CCG approach
“The smallest repair can cause the biggest mess if the diagnosis is wrong.”
Good to know
Urgent or planned?
Some plumbing problems need prompt attention; others can be booked as planned repair work. If water is actively escaping, isolate the supply where it is safe to do so and contact us directly.
Active leak
Turn off the relevant isolation valve or main stop tap if safe and accessible, then call us.
Slow leak
Avoid ignoring water staining or recurring moisture; small leaks can cause significant hidden damage over time.
Not sure
Send photographs and a description. We can help determine the appropriate next step.
The CCG difference
Plumbers who understand what is behind the wall.
Our wider construction experience helps when a plumbing fault involves floors, ceilings, fitted joinery or other finished parts of the building.
Methodical diagnosis
We avoid unnecessary disruption by understanding the symptoms first.
Careful access
If access is needed, we consider finishes and surrounding construction.
Clear communication
You are told what we have found and what repair is proposed.
Wider support
Where making-good or related construction work is needed, being part of Clarke Construction Group can be useful.
From enquiry to completion
A straightforward process.
Clear communication from the first conversation through to finished work.
Tell us what is happening
Send photos, location and whether the leak is active or intermittent.
Assess the fault
We inspect accessible pipework and fittings and trace the likely source.
Explain the repair
We outline the work needed and any access implications.
Repair and test
The plumbing repair is completed and checked before we leave.
Frequently asked questions
Plumbing Repairs & Leaks.
Useful answers before you arrange the work.
What should I do if I have an active leak?+
If it is safe to do so, isolate the affected fitting or turn off the main water supply, protect belongings from further water damage and contact us. Do not take risks around electrical equipment or unsafe access.
Can you find hidden leaks?+
We can investigate leaks that are not immediately visible, although some cases may require specialist leak-detection equipment or opening up to confirm the exact source.
Do you repair dripping taps?+
Yes. We handle everyday repairs including taps, valves, toilets, basins, sinks and related pipework.
Can you repair a leak in a finished room?+
Yes, but the access required depends on where the pipe or fitting is located. We will aim to minimise disruption and explain any making-good that may be needed.
Do you offer emergency plumbing?+
Yes, subject to engineer availability. For urgent active leaks, call us rather than relying only on the online form.
