Emergency Plumber in Edmonton

A leak through the ceiling of a tower flat at Edmonton Green, a burst under the floor of a terrace off Fore Street, or a blocked drain behind a row of houses? Call 07861 933265. We take calls at any time, charge no call-out fee, and usually reach N9 and N18 within 60 minutes.

What to do first: In a terrace, the stopcock is usually under the kitchen sink or under the boards by the front door. In a flat, look in the kitchen cupboards; riser valves are the landlord’s. Stay clear of electrics near water. If there is a smell of gas, call 0800 111 999 at once.

Railway terraces

Edmonton grew quickly after the railway reached Edmonton Green in 1872, and much of Lower and Upper Edmonton is tight late Victorian and Edwardian terraces on clay. Many still drain through the original clay pipes and are fed by supply pipes that have never been replaced, so blocked drains, weeping joints and low pressure are everyday problems.

Estates and towers

Between the wars large estates of cottage-style houses were added, and from the 1960s Edmonton Green was rebuilt with flats and tall towers. In the towers, water from a leak or an overflowing bath shows first in the flat below, and the shared stacks and risers are controlled from the building’s own valves. Report those faults to the landlord as well as calling us.

Meridian Water

The newer flats at Meridian Water have pressurised systems and shared risers, with stopcocks outside the flats.

Hard water

Thames Water says all the water in its region is hard. In Edmonton that shows as scaled combis and cylinders, furred taps and showers losing pressure.

Cost and nearby

No call-out fee; £110 for the first hour and £45 per half hour after, plus parts. We also cover Lower and Upper Edmonton and Meridian Water, and nearby Enfield, Tottenham and Palmers Green.
