Low Water Pressure Brentford & Isleworth

I would be interested to hear from anyone sufferring from low water pressure, particularly from 7.15am to 8.15am Mon-Frid. This is most noticeable if you have an electric shower that requires a minimum of 1 Bar to operate. I dont need your address but the area you are located in is important.Thanks.Ron Curant.

From your responses over the first 24 hours, I am now certain that this low pressure problem is bigger than I thought.If anyone would  like to join me in a joint effort to get someting done about this. Please, as well as recording your concerns on this website, contact me direct on jeanron@hotmail.co.uk and give me a very rough idea of your location in the borough. I dont need your address.

Thanks Jennifer,Your experience seems to mirror mine. I dont want your address but it might help to know the area. Dependant how many replies I get, I intend to notify Thames Water. Although since I said I may contact Ofwat they are refusing to correspond with me anymore. I personally think the problem is far more widespread than we realise.

I contacted Thames Water a year or so ago about low pressure.  Someone called me and said it was due to works they were carrying out in the area - then two weeks later called me again to say it was my fault and I should have my plumbing sorted out.  So yes, the same problem and the same response from Thames Water!

Vanessa, I am sure my problem has nothing to with the current work in the London Road,.It started long before this work commenced. I am sure the pressure has been lowered to save water that leaks from the ageing mains.Ron.

Thames Water have suggested it maybe my internal plumbing, I have lived in the same house for over 40 years with no problems until recent years. I have monitored my own situation for 9 months now. When the children are on holiday it does not occur and happens later in the morning at weekends. I am sure it is all down to peak demand and the terrific amount of development has taken place in the area in recent years. I am keen to hear as from anyone experiencing these problems.

We have had low pressure on and off for ages but it does seem to be behaving itself recently. Wonder if this has anything to do with the current works on Twickenham Rd.?

This has been going on for years, I generally shower before 6am and struggle to get any pressure>  I was later this morning about 8:30 and the pressure was much better.
