Warwickshire hard water — what you need to know

Warwickshire is supplied mainly by Severn Trent Water and has moderate to hard water (150–300 mg/L calcium carbonate). Limescale builds up inside boilers, pipes, shower heads and appliances — reducing efficiency and shortening their lifespan.

Warning: White chalky residue in kettle

Fix: Descale monthly or install a water softener

Warning: Low pressure from shower head

Fix: Soak in vinegar overnight or replace head

Warning: Boiler making banging/kettling noises

Fix: Power flush (£350–£600) + magnetic filter

Warning: Cold spots on radiators

Fix: Power flush or chemical flush (£150–£300)

Warning: Cloudy marks on glassware

Fix: Use dishwasher salt or install a softener

Warning: Washing machine breaking down

Fix: Descale with machine cleaner monthly

Best long-term fix: A salt-based ion exchange water softener (£900–£2,500 installed) protects your entire plumbing system. Ask your plumber about fitting a magnetic boiler filter too (£100–£200).

DIY vs call a plumber

Safe to DIY:

Unblock a sink with a plunger
Replace a tap washer
Bleed radiators
Replace a shower head
Fix running toilet (replace flapper)
Re-silicone around bath or shower

Always call a professional:

ANY gas work — illegal without Gas Safe
Burst pipe or major leak
Boiler repair or installation
Moving or adding radiators
Bathroom refitting
Mains water work (stopcock, supply pipe)

Before calling a plumber — checklist

1.Know where your stopcock is — usually under the kitchen sink. Turn clockwise to shut off

2.Know your boiler pressure gauge — normal is 1–1.5 bar (green zone)

3.Take photos of the problem — helps diagnosis before arriving

4.Clear the area — move items away from under sinks, boilers and radiators

5.Check if the problem is isolated — one tap or room, or the whole house?

6.Ask for a fixed-price quote for defined jobs

7.Check Gas Safe registration for any gas work — verify at GasSafeRegister.co.uk

8.Get at least 3 quotes for any job over £300

9.Ask about guarantees — most reputable plumbers guarantee work for 12 months
