Plumbing in Hendon: what goes wrong and why

Hendon grew out of an old village around St Mary's Church and The Burroughs. Most of today's housing came later: Victorian and Edwardian streets near the old centre and Brent Street, then large areas of 1920s and 1930s semis after the Northern line reached Hendon Central in 1923. Since then many houses have been extended at the back and into the loft, and newer blocks of flats have gone up around West Hendon and along the main roads. Interwar houses often still have their original clay drains, and some still have a lead supply pipe in the front garden. The area is on London clay with many mature trees, so drains crack and roots get in. The water is hard, supplied by Affinity Water or Thames Water depending on the street, and Thames Water runs the sewers.

Most common here: original clay drains and supply pipes in interwar houses.

Emergency plumber in Hendon: your questions

What is your response time in Hendon?
Within 60 minutes is usual for Hendon (NW4), whatever the hour. If it will be longer on a busy night, we tell you before you decide.
How much does an emergency plumber cost in Hendon?
£110 for the first hour and £45 for each extra half hour, with no call-out fee. It costs the same at 3am on a bank holiday as on a weekday afternoon, and you agree a fixed price in writing before work starts.
Can I get a plumber in Hendon in the middle of the night?
Yes. Our engineers work through the night in Hendon (NW4), every day of the year, at the daytime price.
When should I call an emergency plumber rather than book one?
When the damage gets worse by the minute: a burst pipe, water through the ceiling, a flood near sockets, sewage backing up, or no water or heating for someone vulnerable. Slow drips and noisy pipes can wait for a normal appointment.
Where is the stopcock in a Hendon home?
In a Hendon semi it is usually under the kitchen sink or under the stairs, and the outside stop valve is normally under a small cover near the front boundary. In a flat check the kitchen or a hall cupboard. There is also an outside stopcock under a small cover in the pavement, which needs a stopcock key.
What should I do if I smell gas in Hendon?
Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 straight away; it is free and open 24 hours. Do not use switches or anything that could spark, open the windows, and turn the gas off at the meter if you can. Once they have made it safe, we can do the repair.
Do you cover my street in Hendon?
Yes. We cover all of Hendon (NW4), including The Burroughs, Brent Street, Church Road, Parson Street, Station Road and Watford Way. We also cover West Hendon, Hendon Central, Brent Cross, Colindale and The Hyde, at the same price.
What plumbing problems are most common in Hendon?
Original clay drains and supply pipes in interwar houses. Hendon is mostly 1920s and 1930s semis, older Victorian streets, and newer blocks of flats, and the problems follow the buildings. Hard water adds to it, because scale is behind many boiler, cylinder and shower breakdowns.
