Peterborough: A Great Place to Raise a Family

Peterborough offers an excellent quality of life for families, with good schools, green spaces, and affordable housing compared to many other cities in the South East. Here are some of the best areas to consider.

Werrington

A popular choice for families thanks to its excellent primary schools, village feel, and good transport links. The area has plenty of local amenities and is close to the countryside. We provide plumbing and heating services in Werrington for both new and established homes.

Hampton

One of Peterborough's newest developments, Hampton offers modern housing, purpose-built schools, and well-planned open spaces. Hampton Lakes and the Hampton Leisure Centre are popular with families. Our team covers all areas of Hampton, including Hampton Vale and Hampton Hargate.

Orton

The Orton townships offer a mix of housing types and good access to Nene Park and Ferry Meadows. Well-established schools and a strong community make this a family favourite. We regularly carry out plumbing work across Orton.

Bretton

With Bretton Woods on the doorstep and good bus links to the city centre, Bretton offers affordable family homes in a green setting. Our engineers are well-known in Bretton and Westwood for reliable, local service.
