My toilet had ceased flushing so needed immediate attention and Emergency Plumber responded very quickly. It proved impossible to repair my very old system so it had to be removed and a new toilet system installed. Dani is an extremely effective plumber and problem solver and did a very professional job, alongside being very personable.

Plumbing in Palmers Green: what goes wrong and why
Palmers Green had a station from 1871 but stayed mostly farmland until large plots were sold for building in 1902. Within about a decade the Old Park estate between Fox Lane and Aldermans Hill, and the Hazelwood Park estate between Hazelwood Lane and Hedge Lane, had filled with Edwardian terraces, with shops and flats along Green Lanes. Many of the larger houses are now flats, so extra kitchens and bathrooms feed into drainage built for one family, and the flats above the Green Lanes shops share drains with the businesses below. Under the gardens the original clay drains are now more than a century old, and Broomfield Park and the street trees mean roots are a frequent cause of blockages. Houses that have never been replumbed can still have lead supply pipes. Thames Water supplies the area with hard water.
Most common here: century-old clay drains and flats over shops on Green Lanes.
What customers near Palmers Green say
The plumber arrived on time Found the leak replaced the faulty hose and tidied up.
Dani came out on the same day to fix a water leak in the loft. It was a Sunday and he was able to find the parts needed and so continued with the job. Very difficult space to work in and he persevered.
Danny was fantastic. He replaced our broken toilet with minimal fuss, quietly and efficiently getting on with the job.

Usually within 60 minutes, day or night. When you call we give you an arrival time for your street, and while the engineer is on the way we talk you through turning off the water.
Is there a call-out fee in Palmers Green?
No. You pay for the work, not the visit: £110 for the first hour and £45 per extra half hour, at any hour of any day.
Are you open at weekends in Palmers Green?

What problems need a plumber straight away?
Anything that keeps leaking after the stopcock is off, water near electrics, burst or frozen pipes that have split, sewage coming back up, and no water at all. If you smell gas, call 0800 111 999 before anyone else.
Where is the stopcock in a Palmers Green home?
In an Edwardian terrace in Palmers Green the stopcock is usually under the kitchen sink or under the floorboards just inside the front door. In a converted flat check the kitchen and hall cupboard, and ask the other flats, as some houses still share one. There is also an outside stopcock under a small cover in the pavement, which needs a stopcock key.
How do I check a plumber is Gas Safe registered?
Ask for their Gas Safe ID card and check the number on the Gas Safe Register website or on 0800 408 5500. Only a registered engineer can legally work on a gas boiler or appliance. Our registration number is 932798.
Do you cover my street in Palmers Green?
Yes. We cover all of Palmers Green (N13), including Green Lanes, Aldermans Hill, Hazelwood Lane, Fox Lane, Lodge Drive and Broomfield Lane. We also cover Winchmore Hill, Bowes Park, Bounds Green, Arnos Grove and New Southgate, at the same price.
What plumbing problems are most common in Palmers Green?
Century-old clay drains and flats over shops on Green Lanes. Palmers Green is mostly edwardian terraces, many converted to flats, and the problems follow the buildings. Hard water adds to it, because scale is behind many boiler, cylinder and shower breakdowns.
