Emergency Plumber in Brixton

A pipe leaking through a shop ceiling on Atlantic Road, a basement flood in a Railton Road conversion, or no water at all in a block off Brixton Hill? Ring or WhatsApp 07861 933265. A real person answers at any hour, we do not charge to come out, and we aim to reach SW2 and SW9 within 60 minutes.

Make it safe: Find your stopcock and turn it clockwise until it stops. In a basement flat it is often under the floor at the front, near the light well. In a flat over a shop, check the hallway cupboard and the shop itself. Switch off electrics near water only if you can do it from a dry spot.

Above the market

Electric Avenue, built in 1888, was the first market street to be lit by electric light, and the streets around the market are still mostly shops with flats above. These are some of the trickiest buildings we work in: supply and waste pipes shared with the business below, stopcocks in odd places, and access that depends on the shop being open. If you are in one, tell us when you call so we can plan access.

Victorian conversions off Brixton Hill and Acre Lane

The terraces and large villas around Josephine Avenue, Strathleven Road and up Brixton Hill have mostly been split into flats. Basement and garden flats take the brunt of any blocked drain, as the waste from the floors above runs past their door. Many also still have their original lead supply pipe, which we can replace.

Herne Hill side and Brockwell Park

Towards Railton Road and Brockwell Park, the houses are Victorian terraces with long back gardens and shared drains behind them. Tree roots are a common cause of slow drains here.

Our rate

£110 for the first hour, then £45 for each half hour, plus parts, at any time. No call-out fee. We also cover Streatham, Clapham and Peckham, and for blocked drains see emergency drain unblocking.
