Low water pressure across London

Weak water pressure? We’ll find the real cause

A new shower head will not fix a limescale-furred pipe or a failing pressure valve. We test the pressure properly and diagnose the actual cause before recommending anything.

What customers say

Customer reviews

  • New toilet fitted — pain-free experience

    “Max was extremely kind and flexible — the first toilet was too big so he came back an hour later with a smaller one and stayed into the evening to fit it. Also heat-dried the floor and resealed a small leak. Highly recommended!”

  • Checkatrade

    Helped when others weren't interested!

    “Very happy with the response, service and work carried out at very short notice by this team — where no one else on Checkatrade could be bothered!”

    Stuart U

  • Fast, transparent emergency drainage repair

    “Amir Qome and Mohsen arrived within 20 minutes. They texted updates, sent photos/videos of every important step, put in temporary safety measures and completed a fragile, complex job in 4.5 hours — at a lower price than previous invoices. I’ll only use this company from now on.”

    Ellie Castano

  • Brilliant boiler service from start to finish

    “Arrived on time, very respectful and professional, worked quickly, and left everything clean and tidy after fixing the boiler. Really appreciated how efficient and hassle-free the whole job was. Would definitely recommend.”

    “Initially changed our pump for our water pressure (advised from a previous plumber), but that didn't solve our problem. Diako at Ninja Plumbers sorted out the issue the next week for a very reasonable price! Our water pressure now works perfectly!”

What we check

We test, we don’t guess

Low pressure has a handful of usual causes. We work through them in order rather than swapping parts and hoping.

  • Whole-house pressure test

    Static and flow pressure at the incoming mains

  • Pressure-reducing valve

    A PRV drifted out of spec is a common London cause

  • Boiler pressure & flow

    Combi boilers checked for pressure and hot-water flow

  • Pipework & limescale

    Furred or undersized pipework restricting flow

  • Shower-specific problems

    A single weak shower points at the valve or head

  • Stopcocks & isolation valves

    Part-closed or seized valves throttling the supply

Honest diagnosis

The cause decides the fix, not the other way round

It is rarely one obvious thing. We measure the pressure, find where it is being lost, and tell you what it will take to put right — before recommending anything.

  • Common in older London properties

    Older pipework, combi boiler systems, and a pressure-reducing valve that has drifted out of spec are all common causes in London’s housing stock. It is rarely one single obvious thing.

  • Shower-only vs. whole-house is the first question

    A problem in one shower points at that fixture or its valve. Weak pressure everywhere points at the incoming supply, the boiler, or a PRV — a different diagnosis and a different fix.

  • A new shower head is sometimes the answer, sometimes not

    A low-pressure shower head can genuinely help on a gravity-fed system. It does nothing for a PRV set too low or pipework furred with limescale, so we test before recommending one.

How it works

No mystery, no surprise invoice

  1. Tell us what you’re seeing

    One weak shower or the whole house? Sudden or gradual? Call, send the form, or WhatsApp us — it points us at the likely cause before we arrive.

  2. We test and agree the price

    The engineer measures the pressure properly and explains what is causing the drop. You get a price for the fix before any work starts.

  3. Fixed and checked

    The valve, pipework or boiler issue is put right and the pressure re-tested so you can see the difference.

Questions

Why has my water pressure dropped?

Commonly limescale build-up in pipework, a pressure-reducing valve that has drifted out of spec, a boiler pressure problem, or occasionally a mains supply issue. We test rather than guess.

Is low pressure a boiler problem or a pipework problem?

It could be either, which is why we check both — boiler pressure and flow, and the pipework and valves feeding the affected fixture.

Can a new shower head actually fix low pressure?

Sometimes, on a gravity-fed system. It will not fix a faulty pressure valve or furred pipework, so we diagnose first rather than sell you one and hope.

How much does a pressure diagnosis cost?

Call the booking line and describe what is happening — whole-house or one fixture, gradual or sudden — and we will tell you what a visit costs before booking it.
