A lot of Mansfield housing is old enough to have pipework running through cold lofts and solid external walls, which is exactly where a pipe tends to split in a hard frost. If one has gone at your place — in Mansfield, Mansfield Woodhouse, Forest Town or out towards Rainworth — turn the stopcock off, drain the cold taps and send Vofix the details for a local plumber who can get it repaired and check the rest of the run.
Pipes usually burst where they are coldest and least protected — in a loft, under floorboards, in an outside wall or on an unlagged run to an outside tap. A burst can push a surprising amount of water into a property in minutes, so turn the stopcock off, open the cold taps to drain the system down, and keep water away from sockets and lighting. Send Vofix the details and we look for a plumber nearby who can cut out the damaged section, repair it properly and check the rest of the run for the same weakness, so you are not doing this again next winter.
Vofix is a matching service that connects customers with independent local plumbers. The plumber will confirm availability, pricing and the scope of work directly with you before work begins.
Availability varies by area and by day, so attendance is always subject to plumber availability. Vofix does not set or control the prices plumbers charge.
