Bathrooms and fittings
Bathroom and shower room installations, new taps, toilets and basins, outside taps and appliance connections.
Hot water and heating pipework
Radiator replacements, power flushes, hot water cylinders and immersion heaters. Gas boiler work needs a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Woking grew up around its railway station, which opened in 1838, and Victorian and Edwardian houses still line many roads around the town centre, Maybury and Horsell. Their pipework has usually been altered several times over the decades, so a good plumber will trace the runs before cutting in. Homes built before about 1970 may still have a lead supply pipe between the stop tap and the street. Your plumber can tell you, and Affinity Water can advise on replacing its section.
Later growth added large estates such as Sheerwater, built after the war, and Goldsworth Park, built in the 1970s and 1980s, where original copper pipework, stop taps and tank-fed hot water systems are now decades old. Many owners there are replacing old cylinders and loft tanks with a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder. More recently, the town centre's new apartment blocks have brought a different kind of job: leaks that can affect the flat below, and shared pipes that may be the building manager's responsibility. If you're in a flat, check your lease before you book.
Affinity Water supplies Woking, and the water is hard. Limescale is behind many local plumbing calls: shower valves that stick, cartridge taps that drip, and cylinders and immersion heaters that slowly lose efficiency. You can check the hardness for your postcode on Affinity Water's website.
Common plumbing jobs in Woking include:
- Fixing dripping taps and replacing worn cartridges.
- Repairing leaks under sinks and baths, or behind the toilet.
- Replacing running toilet cistern parts.
- Replacing old hot water cylinders and loft tanks.
- Emergency call-outs for burst or frozen pipes in winter.
When choosing a plumber, ask for a written quote that says whether parts are included and how extra time is charged. Check whether there's a call-out fee or a minimum charge, and how long the work is guaranteed for. For anything involving your boiler or gas supply, use a Gas Safe registered engineer. Reviews on Trade Pilot are tied to real, invoiced jobs, so you can see what a plumber has done for other homeowners before you invite them round.

It depends on your lease. Pipes that serve only your flat are usually your responsibility, while shared pipes and stacks are often the freeholder's or managing agent's. Tell them straight away, and tell any neighbour below.
Only if they're Gas Safe registered. Any work on a gas boiler must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer, so check the Gas Safe ID card before work starts.
