WHY PIPES BURST

Common Causes of Burst Pipes in Lewisham Homes

Pipes rarely burst without warning — age, pressure and freezing temperatures are usually behind it. Our engineers see these patterns repeatedly across Lewisham’s mix of period and modern properties.

Frozen pipework

Exposed pipes in lofts, garages and outbuildings are common across Sydenham and Catford gardens — ice expansion is a leading cause of splits.

Ageing or corroded pipes

Original copper and lead pipework in Brockley and Forest Hill’s Victorian terraces weakens over decades and becomes prone to failure.

High water pressure

Excess mains pressure stresses joints and weak sections over time — often the underlying cause behind repeat bursts.

Tree root intrusion

Common on larger Forest Hill and Sydenham plots, where roots can crack or crush underground pipework.

⚠️ Early warning signs, before a pipe fully bursts

  • Damp or discoloured patches on ceilings or walls
  • A sudden, unexplained drop in water pressure
  • A hissing or dripping sound inside walls or floors
  • An unusually high water bill with no obvious cause
  • A musty smell or visible mould developing
  • Puddling around the stopcock or under sinks

WHILE YOU WAIT

What to Do Right Now if a Pipe Has Burst

Taking these steps immediately can significantly reduce water damage to your Lewisham home while our engineer is on the way.

Turn off your water at the stopcock

Usually under the kitchen sink or in the airing cupboard. Turn clockwise to isolate the supply immediately.

Turn off electrics near the leak

If water is near sockets, lighting or the consumer unit, isolate that circuit at the fuse box before doing anything else.

Drain remaining water from taps

Open cold taps in the kitchen and bathroom to relieve pressure and slow the leak while you wait.

Move valuables and document damage

Lift furniture and belongings out of the water's path, then photograph everything for your insurance claim.


⚠️ Do NOT attempt these yourself

  • Don’t repair a burst pipe with tape or sealant — it’s a temporary fix that can worsen the damage and may invalidate insurance.
  • Don’t switch on electrics near standing water — isolate at the consumer unit (fuse box) first.
  • Don’t ignore a slow drip near your boiler or gas pipework — only Gas Safe registered engineers can safely work near gas appliances.
  • Don’t wait until morning if the leak is active — the longer water runs, the more expensive the damage.

THE PROCESS

How We Repair a Burst Pipe in Lewisham

From your call to a fixed repair — in four clear steps.

Isolate the leak

Your engineer's first job on arrival is stopping the water — isolating the affected section to prevent further damage.

Locate & assess the damage

Using visual inspection and, where needed, non-invasive leak detection to find the exact point of failure.

Fixed price agreed on the spot

You'll be told the cost to repair or replace the affected section before any work begins — no surprises later.

Repaired, tested, signed off

Pipework repaired or replaced, pressure-tested, and your home left clean and tidy with a written report the same day.
