Bexley, DA5, is Old Bexley’s Georgian and Victorian village around the High Street and the Cray, ringed by 1930s semis and detached houses at Coldblow and towards Bexleyheath, with the post-war estates and bungalows of Joydens Wood on the hill and newer homes on the old hospital and school sites. The village houses carry cellars, lead and iron, and finishes that must not be disturbed; the 1930s ring carries the classic buried heating pipe and the bathroom over the kitchen; Joydens Wood carries post-war copper in screed and a long walk for the water main up the hill.
Water is hard off the chalk. The Cray runs through the village, so the lowest streets carry some ground water, and the hill is clay that shifts in a dry summer and cracks old supply pipes.
We cover all of DA5, including Old Bexley, Coldblow and Joydens Wood, for burst pipes, water leaks, leak detection, immersion heaters, overflowing toilets and blocked drains, 24 hours a day.
What goes wrong in Bexley homes
- Old Bexley village houses. Two centuries of pipework, cellars near the river, lead and iron never replaced. We trace first and lift second.
- 1930s semis at Coldblow and towards Bexleyheath. Heating pipes in the slab, the warm patch on the carpet, original copper under the rear floor.
- Joydens Wood bungalows and post-war houses. Copper in screed corroding from the outside, low pressure at the top of the hill, loft tanks that freeze.
- Scaled cylinders and immersion elements across the whole postcode.
