Plumber in Down Ampney
DW Plumbing looks after Down Ampney and the Ampney villages from our base just to the south in Cricklade. Repairs, bathrooms, leak detection and emergencies for village homes and farms.
Plumbing for a quiet Gloucestershire village
Down Ampney is a peaceful village just north of Cricklade. It's known as the birthplace of the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, who named a hymn tune after it, and for RAF Down Ampney, the wartime airfield that sent aircraft to Normandy and Arnhem. Homes range from old stone cottages and farmhouses to post-war houses.
The village is just over the border in Gloucestershire, a short drive from our base, and there's no travel charge.
Many rural homes rely on hot water cylinders rather than combis, and have long supply pipes, outside taps and outbuildings. We know these systems well and keep them running reliably.

Hot water cylinders
Cylinder-fed homes have immersion heaters, valves and thermostats that wear out, especially in hard water. We repair and replace them so your hot water stays reliable.
Outside taps and long supplies
Long buried supply pipes and outside taps are prone to freezing and hidden leaks. We lag and protect them, and trace leaks without unnecessary digging.
Cottage and farmhouse bathrooms
Older rooms often have uneven walls and floors. We prepare them properly and fit bathrooms that suit the house, with plumbing and tiling done by one team.
