Plumber in Swindon, from just up the A419
DW Plumbing is a family-run firm based in Cricklade, a short drive down the A419 into Swindon. We fix leaks, fit bathrooms and answer emergency calls across the town, from the Railway Village out to Tadpole Garden Village.
A Swindon plumber who knows the town's homes
You can read Swindon's history in its houses. There are Victorian terraces built for Great Western Railway workers around the Railway Village and Rodbourne, Edwardian and inter-war homes in Old Town and Gorse Hill, the large 1970s and 80s estates of West Swindon, and newer streets across North Swindon, Wichelstowe and Tadpole. Each era comes with its own plumbing quirks, and we've worked on all of them in more than 20 years in the trade.
From Cricklade, North Swindon (Abbey Meads, Haydon Wick, Redhouse and Oakhurst) is the first part of town we reach. The A419 and Great Western Way get us across to Stratton, Covingham and West Swindon quickly, and we don't charge for travel anywhere in Swindon.
When you ring, David answers, not a call centre. He'll tell you straight away whether it sounds like a quick fix or something that needs a look, and planned work always comes with a free, fixed written quote.

What Swindon homes tend to need
Some jobs come up again and again in Swindon, mostly because of the water and the age of the houses.
Very hard water
Swindon's water comes from chalk and limestone sources, so it's very hard. Limescale clogs shower valves, cartridges, taps and immersion heaters. We descale or replace worn parts before they fail, and fit scale reducers on new showers and bathrooms.
Victorian terraces
Terraces around the Railway Village, Rodbourne and Gorse Hill can still have lead or old galvanised supply pipes, and narrow bathrooms off the kitchen. We replace old supplies with modern pipe and plan cramped bathrooms so every inch works. The Railway Village is a conservation area, so we plan any outside changes with that in mind.
Estates from the 70s to today
Many West Swindon homes still have their original bathrooms and ageing pipework, ready for a refit. Newer homes in North Swindon and Wichelstowe use plastic push-fit pipe hidden in floors and walls. When a joint there starts to weep, we use leak detection to find it before anything gets opened up.
Swindon plumbing questions
Do you cover the whole of Swindon?
Yes. We cover every Swindon postcode, from SN25 in the north to SN1, SN2 and SN3 in the centre and east and SN5 in the west, plus Wroughton and Chiseldon. We don't charge for travel anywhere in Swindon.
How quickly can you reach an emergency in Swindon?
North Swindon is the quickest part of town for us to reach from Cricklade. When you call we'll give you a realistic arrival time based on where we are and the traffic on the A419, not a promise we can't keep.
Why does limescale build up so fast in Swindon?
Swindon's water is classed as very hard because it comes from chalk and limestone, so minerals settle on anything that heats water or has a fine spray. We can fit a scale reducer when we install a new shower or bathroom, and we'll show you how to keep shower heads and taps clean.
Can you fit a new bathroom in a Swindon terrace?
Yes. Terrace bathrooms are often long and narrow, so the layout needs careful planning. A shower over the bath or a compact shower room usually works best. We handle the plumbing and tiling, and most full bathrooms take 7–10 working days. See our recent bathrooms.
Water through a Swindon ceiling? Call now.
