Kensington: Stucco terraces and mansion flats

Behind the stucco fronts of W8 the pipework is often a century older than the kitchen it feeds. Much of Kensington sits inside conservation areas and a good share of the garden-square terraces off Kensington High Street and around Holland Park are listed, so new pipe runs cannot simply be clipped to a front elevation; they have to be routed internally and made good. Hard chalk-fed water attacks unvented cylinders and shower valves hard, and the marble and joinery around them makes leaks expensive rather than merely annoying. Mansion flats near Gloucester Road and South Kensington run shared risers, and lower-ground floors converted into kitchens and utility rooms almost always depend on a pump that needs servicing.

Most common here: listed-building pipe routing and scaled unvented cylinders. See what we do about it

Asked in Kensington

Plumber in Kensington, straight answers before you call

How quickly can you get a plumber to Kensington?
Our current rolling average into W8, SW7 is 45 minutes from the Wood Green depot, and that figure comes from our own job logs rather than a marketing promise. When you call we give you a real time for your postcode, and if the nearest engineer is further out than usual, we say so and talk you through turning the water off while you wait.
How much does an emergency plumber cost in Kensington?
£110 for the first hour and £45 per additional half hour, with no call-out fee and no night, weekend or bank holiday surcharge. That is the same figure in Kensington as everywhere else we work. You get a fixed price in writing on the doorstep before anything starts, and it does not move once work begins.
What plumbing problems are most common in Kensington?
Listed-building pipe routing and scaled unvented cylinders, by a distance. Kensington is largely stucco terraces and mansion flats, and the failures follow the building. London sits on some of the hardest water in the country, roughly 280 to 320 ppm from the chalk aquifer Thames Water draws on. Practically, that means scale: narrowed pipework, furred heat exchangers, shower cartridges that seize, and stopcocks that will not turn on the one night you need them to.
Which parts of Kensington do you cover?
Within Kensington we work across Kensington High Street, Holland Park, Kensington Gardens, Gloucester Road and South Kensington and everything between them. We also cover Fulham, Chiswick and South London nearby, so if you are on a boundary street it makes no difference to the price or the response. Water is hard, around 280 to 320 ppm off the chalk across the whole of this area, so the advice on scale and corrosion is the same wherever in Kensington you are.
