Short answer
Tetbury is the only town on this site that Bristol Water supplies. Its water comes from boreholes and is very hard, at 290 mg/l. More than four in ten homes in the area date from before 1965. Tetbury is inside the Cotswolds National Landscape, which limits soil pipes on walls that face a road.
Plumbers in Tetbury by service
Who supplies water in Tetbury, and how hard is it?
Bristol Water supplies Tetbury from its Tetbury and Kingscote supply zone, number 402. The water comes from a groundwater borehole source.
The Bristol Water checker gives a hardness of 290 mg/l of calcium carbonate, or 20 degrees Clark. Bristol Water classes the supply as very hard.
Bristol Water reports a calcium level of 103 mg/l. This calcium forms the scale you see on taps, kettles and shower screens.
What does hard water mean for a Tetbury boiler or cylinder?
Scale builds up on the hot side first. In a combi boiler, it coats the plate heat exchanger and cuts the flow of hot water.
At 290 mg/l, Tetbury is well over the 200 mg/l line in Approved Document L. A plumber who fits a new water heater or combi boiler should treat the feed water to slow scale.
For a softener, you must give notice to the water company first, under regulation 5 of the Water Fittings Regulations.
Do Tetbury homes have lead pipes?
Some older ones may. In the Tetbury area, 28.5 per cent of homes on the Council Tax list date from before 1919. In all, 41.1 per cent date from before 1965.
The Drinking Water Inspectorate says a home built before 1970 may have lead pipes. Bristol Water took 9 first-draw lead samples in the zone in 2025. The highest was 8.1 micrograms a litre, under the limit of 10.
First-draw water has stood in the pipes overnight. The Inspectorate advises you to run the tap before you drink it in the morning.
Which rules apply to soil pipes and bathrooms in Tetbury?
Tetbury lies inside the Cotswolds National Landscape, and its centre is a conservation area. A new soil and vent pipe on a road-facing front or side wall is not permitted development there.
The Market House dates from 1655 and is listed at Grade I. Many houses nearby are listed too. In a listed house, a new bathroom or waste run can need listed building consent.
Questions
Who do I call about a water leak in the street in Tetbury?
Bristol Water supplies the town, so a leak on its side of the outside stop valve is for Bristol Water. The pipe from that valve to your house is yours.
Do the villages around Tetbury have the same water?
Not always. Water zones do not follow parish lines. Enter your own postcode in the Bristol Water checker to see the figure for your house.
How do I spot a lead pipe?
Look at the pipe by your inside stop tap. Lead is dull grey and soft. A coin scrape shows shiny silver metal underneath.
