My toilet had ceased flushing so needed immediate attention and Emergency Plumber responded very quickly. It proved impossible to repair my very old system so it had to be removed and a new toilet system installed. Dani is an extremely effective plumber and problem solver and did a very professional job, alongside being very personable.

Emergency plumbing problems we fix in Edmonton
From cracked Victorian clay drains under the terraces to leaks passing between flats in the towers, here are six emergencies Edmonton homes face.
- 01
Blocked drain or sink in Edmonton
Many of Edmonton's terraces still have drains laid in the 1880s and 1890s, and cracked clay joints and settled pipes are the usual cause of blockages that keep coming back.
Edmonton: usually £140 – £240. Blocked drain or sink: first steps →
- 02
Blocked or overflowing toilet in Edmonton
In the Edmonton Green towers and older council blocks each toilet joins a shared stack, so a blockage near the bottom of the building backs up into the lowest flats first.
Edmonton: usually £95 – £150. Blocked or overflowing toilet: first steps →
- 03
Water leak or leak through the ceiling in Edmonton
In the blocks of flats around Edmonton Green a leak often shows through the ceiling below before anyone upstairs notices, and the isolating valve may be in a riser cupboard.
Edmonton: usually £280 – £600. Water leak or leak through the ceiling: first steps →
- 04
Leaking radiator in Edmonton
Central heating in Edmonton's Victorian terraces was added long after they were built, often on narrow pipework, and sludge in those pipes leaves radiators cold at the bottom.
Edmonton: usually £110 – £170. Leaking radiator: first steps →
- 05
No hot water or no heating in Edmonton
Combi boilers in Edmonton flats and terraces run on hard Thames Water every day, and scale in the heat exchanger is a common reason the hot water turns lukewarm.
Edmonton: usually £130 – £420. No hot water or no heating: first steps →
- 06
Burst or frozen pipe in Edmonton
Old lead and iron supply pipes under Edmonton terraces can split in a hard frost, and pipes in the unheated stores and garages on the estates are the first to freeze.
Edmonton: usually £150 – £280. Burst or frozen pipe: first steps →

Emergency plumber prices in Edmonton
Clearing a blocked outside drain on an Edmonton terrace typically costs £140 to £240. Labour runs at £110 for the opening hour, £45 a half hour after that, day or night. Turning up costs nothing, because call-out fees do not exist here; you approve a written fixed price first.
Plumbing in Edmonton: what goes wrong and why
Edmonton grew quickly after the railway reached Edmonton Green in 1872, and trams followed in 1881, so much of Lower and Upper Edmonton is tight late Victorian and Edwardian terraces on clay. Many still drain through their original clay pipes, and some have lead or old iron supply pipes that have never been replaced. Between the wars the council added large estates of cottage-style houses, and from 1965 Edmonton Green was rebuilt with flats and three 25-storey towers. In those blocks, water from a leak or an overflowing bath often shows first in the flat below, and the shared stacks and risers are controlled from the building's own valves. The newer flats at Meridian Water have pressurised systems instead. Thames Water supplies Edmonton with hard water, so scale builds up in combi boilers, cylinders, taps and showers.
Most common here: leaks between flats and old clay drains under terraces.

Dani came out on the same day to fix a water leak in the loft. It was a Sunday and he was able to find the parts needed and so continued with the job. Very difficult space to work in and he persevered.

Emergency plumber in Edmonton: your questions
How fast can you reach me in Edmonton?
Usually within 60 minutes, day or night. In the Edmonton Green towers and the bigger council blocks, the slowest part can be getting inside, so have the block entrance, lift or stair details and any door code ready. For a terrace on a street like Bounces Road or Montagu Road, the house number and a working phone are enough.
What does an emergency plumber in Edmonton cost?
Nobody pays a call-out fee. The opening hour costs £110, and each half hour after it is £45, so 3am costs the same as noon. Before any work begins, the price is fixed and written down for you, and parts are only ordered with your say-so. Every repair carries a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Do you cover Edmonton at night and over bank holidays?
Yes. Whoever picks up is a person, not a machine, at any hour, on weekends, bank holidays and Christmas Day too. Nights cost no more than weekdays. If a pipe splits in a frost after midnight or the bath overflows into the flat below on a Sunday, call 020 3674 8514, or use WhatsApp: 07865 292684.
Which leaks and blockages are emergencies in an Edmonton flat or terrace?
Anything that is spreading water or stopping you using the toilet or heating. That includes water dripping from the flat upstairs, sewage rising in a lower-floor flat because the shared stack is blocked, a split lead supply pipe under a terrace, and no heating or hot water when someone at home is vulnerable.
Who deals with a blocked shared stack in an Edmonton tower block?
Usually the building owner or managing agent, because the stack and risers serve every flat and are controlled from the block's own valves. Pipework that serves only your flat is normally yours. Outside, a drain used by one house and lying inside its boundary belongs to the owner, while public sewers, and in most cases drains shared with neighbours, fall to the water company.
Where is the stopcock in a Edmonton home?
In an Edmonton terrace the stopcock is usually under the kitchen sink or under the floor just inside the front door. In the towers and council blocks look for a valve in the kitchen or airing cupboard, as the main valve for the block is in a locked riser or plant room.
Which streets in Edmonton do you cover?
All of them. That includes Fore Street, Hertford Road, Silver Street, Church Street, Bury Street and Montagu Road, and nearby Upper Edmonton, Lower Edmonton, Edmonton Green, Ponders End and Bush Hill Park.
What goes wrong most often in Edmonton homes?
Leaks between flats and old clay drains under terraces. Most homes in Edmonton are victorian terraces, council estates and 1960s towers, and that is where it comes from.
