Emergency Plumber in Streatham

Streatham’s long high road is lined with mansion blocks and flats, and the side streets are full of big Edwardian houses turned into two, three or four homes. That means most of our call-outs here are about water travelling between flats. Call or WhatsApp 07861 933265 day or night; there is no call-out fee.

While you wait: Turn off your own stopcock, usually under the kitchen sink. If the water is coming from above, ask the neighbour to turn off theirs, or the porter to close the block’s main valve. Put towels and a bucket under the drip and keep away from wet light fittings.

Mansion blocks on Streatham Hill and the high road

The interwar and Edwardian blocks along Streatham Hill and Streatham High Road have shared risers, cast-iron soil stacks and, in many, a single main stopcock in a basement plant room. A leak can start in one flat and show three floors down. We work from the wet ceiling up, and where the fault is in a shared stack we tell you, so the managing agent can be involved.

Large houses split into flats

Roads off Leigham Court Road, Babington Road and around Telford Park have large houses converted into several flats. Typical problems: one supply shared by all the flats, waste pipes from a top-floor kitchen running down the outside wall, and new bathrooms added in old bedrooms with long, shallow waste runs that block easily.

Terraces near the common

South towards Streatham Common the terraces are smaller and simpler. Here it is mostly worn stopcocks, leaking cylinders in airing cupboards and blocked drains under shared back gardens.

What it costs

Same rate any hour: £110 first hour, £45 per extra half hour, parts on top, no call-out fee. Nearby we cover Tooting, Brixton and Balham. For leaks between flats, see water leaking through the ceiling.
