Emergency Plumber in Walthamstow

A leak through a ceiling in a Warner half-house, a drain blocked under a terrace off Hoe Street, or a converted flat with no water? Call 07861 933265. We answer at any hour, there is no call-out fee, and E17 is usually reached within 60 minutes.

Stop the water: In a Warner maisonette each home normally has its own stopcock, usually in the kitchen. In a terrace, try under the kitchen sink or below the boards inside the front door. Keep away from wet electrics. If you can smell gas, phone 0800 111 999 straight away.

Warner half-houses

Walthamstow has a type of home you rarely see elsewhere: the Warner half-houses, purpose-built Victorian and Edwardian maisonettes with two front doors side by side, one for the flat downstairs and one for the flat above. They are spread across the streets west of Lloyd Park towards Higham Hill and Blackhorse Road. Because one home sits directly on the other, an upstairs leak lands in the downstairs rooms, and the drains under the building serve both.

Terraces and conversions

The rest of E17 is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terrace, much of it converted into flats. One original stack now carries several bathrooms, so slow drains and blockages that back up into the ground floor are common. Under the front gardens, clay drains and mature street trees mean roots in the joints.

Walthamstow Village

Around Orford Road and Church Hill the older houses of Walthamstow Village sit in a conservation area. Repairs there are kept inside where we can, without new pipes on the front.

Hard water

Thames Water says all the water in its region is hard. In Walthamstow that shows up as scaled cylinders and combi heat exchangers, and showers that lose pressure year by year.

Rate and nearby

£110 for the first hour, then £45 per half hour, plus parts; no call-out fee. We also cover Walthamstow Village, Higham Hill and Blackhorse Road, and nearby Tottenham, Hackney and Stratford.
