Emergency Plumber in Sutton
A drain backing up in a converted house near the High Street, a loft tank overflowing in Cheam, or a cylinder that has given up in Belmont? Call 07861 933265. We answer at any hour, charge no call-out fee and usually reach SM1, SM2 and SM3 within 60 minutes.
Before we arrive: Close the stopcock, usually under the kitchen sink or the stairs. If the loft tank is overflowing, the valve on its supply pipe stops it. In a flat, check kitchen and hall cupboards. Keep clear of electrics near the water. Smell gas? Ring 0800 111 999 first.
Edwardian terraces and conversions
Around the town centre and the station, Sutton has Edwardian terraces and larger houses, many of them now flats. Each conversion added bathrooms and kitchens to a single original stack, so slow drains are a constant complaint and blockages back up into the ground floor first.
Cheam, Belmont and the interwar streets
Further out, Cheam, Belmont and the streets around Manor Park are mostly interwar semis. Many still have a loft tank and a copper cylinder. Float valves stick, cylinders weep and immersion heaters fail, and the hard water common across the south-east speeds that up by scaling the coil and element.
Drains under the gardens
Older gardens still have clay drains, and mature trees push roots into the joints. The drain serving only your house is yours; Thames Water, which runs the sewers here, says shared sewers are its responsibility even under gardens.
Rate and nearby
£110 for the first hour, £45 per half hour after, plus parts. No call-out fee. We also cover Cheam, Belmont and Carshalton, and nearby Croydon, Epsom and Wimbledon.

Questions people ask
Is Thames Water my water company in Sutton?
For the sewers, yes: Thames Water runs them across Sutton. Your drinking water may come from a different company, which is shown on your water bill. Either way, the pipes inside your boundary are yours to look after.
Every flat in our converted house has slow drains. Why?
When a house is split into flats, the original soil stack usually stays, and two or three bathrooms and kitchens now drain through it. A partial blockage low down slows everyone, and it shows first in the ground-floor flat. Clearing the stack and the drain under the house usually fixes it.
Our loft tank is overflowing. What should I do?
Turn off the small valve on the pipe that feeds the tank, or the stopcock if there is none, so it stops filling. Then call us; a stuck or worn float valve is the usual cause and quick to replace.
How much is an emergency plumber in Sutton?
No call-out fee. It is £110 for the first hour and £45 for each half hour after, plus parts, at the same rate day and night.
