Emergency Plumber in Notting Hill

A basement pump alarm in a Ladbroke Grove house, or a leak dripping into a shop below your Portobello Road flat? Call 07861 933265. Someone answers whatever the hour, there is no call-out fee, and we usually reach W11 and W2 within 60 minutes.

Make it safe: In a terraced house the stopcock is often in the basement or under the kitchen sink. In a flat, check the kitchen and hall cupboards. If water is near a basement consumer unit or sockets, only switch off if you can do it safely. Gas: 0800 111 999 first.

Basements and pumps

Many Notting Hill houses have deep basements or lower-ground floors, and anything below the sewer, a shower room, a utility, a gym, depends on a pumped drainage system. Pumps fail from wear, wipes and fat, or a tripped circuit, and the alarm is the warning. Test it now and then, keep wipes out of the toilets, and have the pump serviced.

Over the shops and the market

Portobello Road, Westbourne Grove and Notting Hill Gate have flats above shops, cafés and restaurants. Pipes are often shared with the business below, stopcocks can be in odd places, and a leak in the flat may first be noticed by the shopkeeper. Market days add parking and access difficulties, so tell us how to reach your door.

The Ladbroke Estate

The crescents and communal garden squares of the Ladbroke Estate, laid out from the 1840s, are some of the best-known streets in London. In houses like these, repairs need care and new pipework stays inside wherever possible.

Hard water and expensive bathrooms

Thames Water says all the water in its region is hard. In W11 that means scale in thermostatic shower valves, pressurised cylinders and designer taps, where a small cartridge or valve is usually the fix rather than a new fitting.

Rate and nearby

£110 for the first hour, then £45 per half hour, plus parts, with no call-out fee. We also cover Ladbroke Grove, Westbourne Grove and Holland Park, and nearby Kensington, Hammersmith and Chelsea.
