What Does Pipe Repair Involve?
Pipe repair covers the diagnosis and rectification of faults in all types of domestic water supply pipework — hot and cold supply pipework, central heating flow and return pipework, and waste water pipework — including burst sections, pinhole leaks, corroded joints, and failed fittings.
Kamdem HomeTech carries out pipe repair across all common domestic pipework types and materials:
- Copper pipe — soldered joints, compression fittings, and push-fit connections; the most common domestic pipework material in Greater Manchester properties
- Plastic pipe (PEX/PB/MDPE) — push-fit, compression, and electrofusion fittings; common in newer properties and as a replacement for lead or corroded copper
- Galvanised and mild steel pipe — found in older Greater Manchester properties, often requiring replacement sections rather than repair due to extensive corrosion
- CPVC and MDPE mains supply — including supply pipe between the street stopcock and the property, which is both the homeowner's responsibility and one of the most common sources of significant buried leaks
We carry a comprehensive stock of pipe fittings, couplings, repair clamps, and pipe sections on every van — allowing the majority of pipe repairs to be completed in a single visit.
Where the source of a leak is not immediately visible, our leak detection service uses acoustic, thermal, and tracer gas equipment to locate the exact fault before any access is made — avoiding unnecessary damage to floors, walls, and ceilings.
Scenarios we attend include: burst pipes caused by freezing in winter (a frequent Greater Manchester emergency, typically affecting pipes in unheated loft spaces, garages, and external walls); pinhole leaks in copper pipework caused by aggressive water chemistry or physical damage; failed compression fittings on older copper systems; split or cracked plastic joints caused by thermal expansion; corroded and weeping galvanised steel pipework; mains supply pipe failures between the street and the property; and waste pipe leaks causing damp damage beneath kitchen units, bathroom cabinets, and floors.
For bathroom-specific pipework — including shower and bath waste connections — our bathroom plumbing service covers all associated work.
What Happens When You Delay?
A pipe joint that weeps, a slow drip from a compression fitting, or a pinhole leak in a copper run may appear minor — but water is persistent and patient. A leak losing just 1 litre per hour accumulates 720 litres per month. Over six to eight weeks without obvious surface indication, that volume of water saturates insulation, causes timber joists and floorboards to rot, promotes black mould growth in wall voids, and begins to damage structural elements. By the time damp patches appear on ceilings, walls, or floors, the hidden structural damage is already extensive.
A burst pipe in winter is a different situation entirely. A pipe that fractures under freezing conditions can discharge hundreds of litres in an hour. In that time, water penetrates floor structures, soaks through ceilings to floors below, reaches electrical circuits, and begins warping and staining everything it touches. The average cost of water damage remediation following an unaddressed burst pipe in a Greater Manchester property is £5,000–£15,000. The repair of the pipe itself, by contrast, is typically £150–£400.
If you know a pipe has a fault — however small it appears — call Kamdem HomeTech before the situation escalates. We operate 24/7 for burst pipe emergencies across all of Greater Manchester.

Frequently Asked Questions
My pipe has burst and water is flooding — what do I do right now?
Turn off the water at the stopcock immediately. The main household stopcock is typically located under the kitchen sink, in an airing cupboard, or at the point where the supply pipe enters the property. If you cannot locate it or it is seized, turn off the water at the street-level stopcock (in a small metal box set into the pavement outside the property). Then call Kamdem HomeTech on 07826 088938 — we respond 24/7 across Greater Manchester.
My stopcock is seized and I can't turn off the water — what can I do?
Call us immediately on 07826 088938. While waiting, you may be able to turn off the water at the street stopcock using a flat-bladed screwdriver or a stopcock key (available at most hardware shops). Our engineer carries the tools to release seized stopcocks and isolation valves.
Can frozen pipes be repaired or do they always need replacing?
Many frozen and burst pipes can be repaired with a repair coupling or short replacement section, without replacing the entire pipe run. The extent of the repair depends on the severity of the fracture. In some cases — particularly older galvanised steel pipework that has frozen and burst — replacing the affected section with modern copper or plastic is the better long-term option. Our engineer will assess on-site and advise you honestly.
How do you repair a pipe that is buried under a floor?
We use leak detection equipment to pinpoint the location of the fault precisely before opening any floor. Once located, we make the minimum access required to carry out the repair — rather than lifting large areas of flooring to search for the fault.
Can you repair lead pipework?
Yes. We can repair or replace lead supply pipework — though in most cases where lead pipe is present, we recommend replacing it with modern copper or plastic. Lead pipework in domestic properties predates current water quality standards and may carry a risk of lead contamination. We can advise on the most appropriate approach for your specific situation.
Is a pipe leak always my responsibility to fix, or is some of it the water company's?
The water company is responsible for the supply pipe up to the boundary of your property (typically the street stopcock). From the street stopcock to the building and throughout the property, the pipe is your responsibility. We repair all private-side supply pipework and internal pipework across Greater Manchester.
Do you provide a guarantee on pipe repairs?
Yes. All pipe repair work carried out by Kamdem HomeTech is covered by our written workmanship guarantee. We only carry out repairs we're confident will hold — and we stand behind our work.
Can you also repair waste pipes and drainage?
Yes. We carry out waste pipe repairs — including leaking waste connections under sinks, baths, and showers, and failed soil and vent pipe joints. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
