Shenfield and Hutton, CM15, are the big-house end of Brentwood: 1930s detached houses on the roads off Hutton Road, the large post-war and 1960s and 1970s homes of Hutton Mount, the older cottages around Hutton village and the church, and a steady run of rebuilt and extended houses where the plumbing was done in stages by whoever was working on the house that year. Big plots mean long supply pipes under drives and lawns, outbuildings and annexes with their own pipework, and several bathrooms running off one cylinder or a pair of boilers. When something fails it is rarely in plain sight.
Hutton Mount sits on the Essex ridge, so pressure drops at the top and loft tanks and pipework freeze in the first hard frost. The water is as hard as anywhere in Essex, and the number of showers in a Hutton house means scale closes things down faster than it does in a smaller home.
We cover all of CM15, including Hutton and Hutton Mount, for burst pipes, water leaks, leak detection, water through the ceiling, immersion heaters and cylinders and blocked drains, 24 hours a day.
What goes wrong in Shenfield and Hutton homes
- Underground supply leaks on the large plots. A high water bill, a soft patch on the lawn or a meter that creeps with every tap off. London clay cracks old pipes in a dry summer. We locate the leak before anyone digs up a drive.
- Multi-bathroom houses on Hutton Mount. Pressure drops, cylinders that cannot keep up, and one failed valve on the first floor that soaks the hall.
- 1930s houses off Hutton Road. Heating pipes in the slab, bathrooms over kitchens, original copper and iron under the suspended front room.
- Annexes, garages and pool rooms plumbed separately, often with no isolation of their own.
