Looking for a reliable plumber in Roath? Rimko Plumbing Ltd fixes leaks, replaces radiators and shower trays, and refits bathrooms in homes across Roath, from the terraces off Albany Road and City Road to the larger houses near Roath Park. We are based in north-east Cardiff, so Roath is a short drive away.
Most of Roath was built in the late Victorian and Edwardian era, and its plumbing often shows its age. Many terraces have been altered more than once, so it is common to find old pipework hidden behind newer pipes, bathrooms squeezed into back extensions and waste pipes that run further than they should.
A Plumber in Roath Who Understands Older Terraces
In a Roath terrace, the bathroom is often at the back of the house, above the kitchen, and the pipework has been extended over the years. Slow drainage, a cistern that won't stop running or a small leak through the kitchen ceiling usually come from one weak joint, not a failing system. We find the actual cause before we suggest any work, so you only pay for what the house needs.
When we replace radiators in older terraces we check the existing pipe sizes and valves first. A modern radiator that matches the room and the pipework heats better and is easier to maintain than one that just fits the old brackets.
Plumbing for Roath Landlords and Letting Agents
A lot of Roath is rented out, from shared houses near the university to flats above the shops on Wellfield Road. We work with landlords who need a dripping tap, a leaking shower tray or a broken toilet fixed quickly and properly so a tenant is not left waiting. We can arrange access with tenants directly, and we explain what we found and fixed in plain English so you have a clear record of the job.
Between tenancies is a good time for bigger jobs, like replacing a tired shower tray or refitting a bathroom. Ask us about timings and we will plan the work around your void period.
