Danny came very promptly on a Saturday to cap the gas supply to an old gas oven, which was being replaced by an electric oven. Very pleased with job as he did not charge extra for this second visit.

Turn the water off at once
Check the kitchen sink unit, then the hall floorboards inside the front door: Fulham terraces keep the stopcock in one of those spots. Mansion flats use kitchen or hall cupboards; the freeholder holds the riser valve. Avoid wet electrics. Gas leak: 0800 111 999. Plumber: 020 3674 8514.
Emergency plumbing problems we fix in Fulham
Narrow Victorian service runs, mansion block risers and hard water explain most of these six SW6 emergencies:
- 01
Blocked drain or sink in Fulham
Fulham terraces drain to the sewer through clay pipes laid in the 1880s and 1890s, and a kitchen moved into a side return often adds a long, flat run that silts up.
Fulham: usually £140 – £240. Blocked drain or sink: first steps →
- 02
Blocked or overflowing toilet in Fulham
Many SW6 terraces have been split into an upper and a lower flat, and when both toilets share one stack a blockage often surfaces in the ground-floor bathroom first.
Fulham: usually £95 – £150. Blocked or overflowing toilet: first steps →
- 03
Water leak or leak through the ceiling in Fulham
In the mansion blocks near Fulham Broadway and Parsons Green a leak often travels through shared floors, so the flat below may see the water before the flat causing it.
Fulham: usually £280 – £600. Water leak or leak through the ceiling: first steps →
- 04
Leaking radiator in Fulham
Loft conversions are common on Fulham's terraces, and a radiator added at the far end of an old heating run is often the one that never gets properly hot.
Fulham: usually £110 – £170. Leaking radiator: first steps →
- 05
No hot water or no heating in Fulham
Many Fulham terraces swapped their loft tanks for a combi during a refit, and in hard water its heat exchanger scales up until the hot water runs lukewarm or cuts out.
Fulham: usually £130 – £420. No hot water or no heating: first steps →
- 06
Burst or frozen pipe in Fulham
Pipes in Fulham most often freeze where they run through a cold side return, the roof void of a rear extension or an outside wall on the garden side.
Fulham: usually £150 – £280. Burst or frozen pipe: first steps →

Plumbing in Fulham: what goes wrong and why
Fulham is one of the densest stretches of late-Victorian terrace in west London, and the Peterborough Estate and Munster Village streets were built with narrow service runs nobody expected to carry two bathrooms. Thames Water supplies hard water here, so cylinders fur up, combi heat exchangers scale and baths fill slowly within a decade of a refit. The mansion blocks around Fulham Broadway and Parsons Green bring a different problem: shared risers and a communal stopcock the freeholder controls, so an upstairs leak can quickly become a downstairs insurance claim. Side-return extensions towards Bishops Park have usually moved the kitchen waste a long way from the original stack, and that long, shallow run is where many SW6 blockages begin.
Most common here: communal risers and hard-water scaling.
What customers near Fulham say
The water pump stopped working and we needed a quick replacement, they were very responsive and professional and did a quick turn around, they were very respectful of the space they were working in and cleaned up after themselves.
Came to our business to sort out leaks that we had found the night before - they also found a blockage which they also were able to clear. Great professional service
Danny was quick to respond to the job posting and was able to attend within 1/2 hr of the go ahead. Turned up on time as promised and resolved the issue quickly and efficiently

Emergency plumber in Fulham: your questions
How fast do you get to Fulham?
We aim to arrive within 60 minutes, and that is what usually happens across SW6. In the mansion blocks round Parsons Green, a porter or locked communal door can slow the last few minutes, so give us the code or warn the porter. In a terrace on the Peterborough Estate, the house number and flat letter are enough.
What are your emergency plumbing charges in Fulham?
Coming out is free, with no call-out fee at all. The first hour is charged at £110 and every subsequent half hour at £45, at one flat rate all day and night. You agree a written fixed price before work starts and approve any parts first. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Can a Fulham plumber come out at the weekend or overnight?
Yes, at any hour, any day. A real person answers the phone 24 hours a day, including weekends, bank holidays and Christmas. Night and holiday visits are not charged at a premium, so you never need to leave a leak running until Monday.
Which Fulham plumbing faults need someone tonight?
When water is getting where it should not and you cannot stop it, when sewage comes back up, or when heating or hot water fails in the cold. In Fulham mansion blocks a leak can travel through shared floors to the flat below, and in split terraces a blocked shared stack fills the ground-floor toilet first.
Who controls the communal stopcock in a Fulham mansion block?
Normally the freeholder or managing agent, because it shuts off the shared riser rather than a single flat. Your lease should say which pipes are yours: usually those serving your flat alone. If water is coming from the riser, shut your own valve, call the porter or managing agent and photograph the damage for any insurance claim.
Where is the stopcock in a Fulham home?
In a Fulham terrace it is usually under the kitchen sink or just inside the front door, sometimes under the floorboards in the hall. In a mansion flat check the kitchen and hall cupboards, as the main valve may be in a communal riser.
Which streets in Fulham do you cover?
All of them. That includes Fulham Road, Fulham High Street, New King's Road, Munster Road, Lillie Road and North End Road, and nearby Parsons Green, Sands End, Hurlingham, West Brompton and Earls Court.
What goes wrong most often in Fulham homes?
Communal risers and hard-water scaling. Most homes in Fulham are victorian terraces and mansion blocks, and that is where it comes from.
