Emergency plumbing problems we fix in Edgware
The six emergencies below cover most urgent plumbing calls in Edgware, with what usually causes them locally.
- 01
Blocked drain or sink in Edgware
Edgware's interwar semis often share a drain with the house next door before it reaches the sewer, so one blockage can affect both homes and both gullies.
Typical price: £140 – £240. Blocked drain: what to do while you wait →
- 02
Blocked or overflowing toilet in Edgware
Many Edgware semis still have the original separate toilet next to the bathroom, and the old pan connector behind it is a common source of slow flushing and leaks.
Typical price: £95 – £150. Overflowing toilet: what to do while you wait →
- 03
Water leak or leak through the ceiling in Edgware
Very hard water in Edgware wears out tap washers, valve seats and float valves quickly, so dripping taps and overflowing loft tanks are common sources of leaks.
Typical price: £280 – £600. Water through the ceiling: what to do while you wait →
- 04
Leaking radiator in Edgware
Edgware's interwar houses often have extensions with radiators added at the far end of the original circuit, and these are the ones that heat last or stay cold.
Typical price: £110 – £170. Leaking radiator: what to do while you wait →
- 05
No hot water or no heating in Edgware
With very hard Affinity Water, cylinders, immersion heaters and combi heat exchangers in Edgware scale up fast, and the hot water slowly loses heat and flow.
Typical price: £130 – £420. No hot water: what to do while you wait →
- 06
Burst or frozen pipe in Edgware
Loft pipes, garage pipes and outside taps in Edgware's interwar houses are the first to freeze, especially on the higher ground towards Edgwarebury and Stonegrove.

Plumbing in Edgware: what goes wrong and why
Edgware was a small town strung along Watling Street, now the A5 Edgware Road, until the Northern line reached it in 1924. The population more than tripled over the next decade, and most of the town is still the semi-detached and detached houses built between the wars, with older cottages and shops along the High Street and flats above the shops on Station Road. Many of these houses keep a loft tank and copper cylinder, and the original clay drains are now close to a hundred years old. Most of Edgware is supplied by Affinity Water rather than Thames Water, and the chalk-sourced water is very hard, so scale is a constant problem for cylinders, immersion heaters, combi boilers and showers. Thames Water still looks after the sewers, so a blocked public sewer is reported to them.
Most common here: scale from very hard Affinity Water in cylinders and combis.

Is my problem an emergency?
Call straight away if water is pouring or near electrics, a pipe has burst, sewage is coming back up, you have no water, or your only toilet is out of action. A dripping tap can wait for a booked visit. For a gas smell, ring 0800 111 999 first.
Where is the stopcock in a Edgware home?
In an Edgware semi the stopcock is usually under the kitchen sink, and in some houses under the stairs or in the garage. The outside stop tap sits under a small cover near the front boundary and belongs to Affinity Water. There is also an outside stopcock under a small cover in the pavement, which needs a stopcock key.
How do I check a plumber is Gas Safe registered?
Ask for their Gas Safe ID card and check the number on the Gas Safe Register website or on 0800 408 5500. Only a registered engineer can legally work on a gas boiler or appliance. Our registration number is 932798.
Do you cover my street in Edgware?
Yes. We cover all of Edgware (HA8), including Station Road, High Street, Hale Lane, Edgware Way, Whitchurch Lane and Manor Park Crescent. We also cover Burnt Oak, Canons Park, Stonegrove, Edgwarebury and Colindale, at the same price.
What plumbing problems are most common in Edgware?
Scale from very hard Affinity Water in cylinders and combis. Edgware is mostly 1920s and 1930s semis and detached houses, and the problems follow the buildings. Hard water adds to it, because scale is behind many boiler, cylinder and shower breakdowns.
