Emergency Plumber in Wood Green
We are based on Crescent Road in Wood Green, so N22 is home ground for us. Call 07861 933265 for a leak, a burst or a blocked drain at any hour. There is no call-out fee, and we usually reach you within 60 minutes.
Stop the water: Look under the kitchen sink or under the floor just inside the front door. Above a shop, also check the landing cupboard. Turn off power to any wet area if it is safe to reach the consumer unit. If you smell gas, ring 0800 111 999 straight away.
Noel Park and the long terraces
Wood Green filled up fast after its railway station opened in 1859, and the Noel Park estate, opened in 1883, added around 2,200 small terraced houses on its own. These streets are tight, and their drains are often shared, running behind or under a row of houses before they reach the sewer in the road. That means one blockage can back up into several gardens, and it is worth knowing that the shared length is usually the water company’s, not yours.
Many of these small houses have had a second bathroom squeezed into the back bedroom or the loft. When a bath seal or shower tray fails upstairs in a house this compact, the water reaches the kitchen ceiling fast.
Flats above the High Road
The High Road, Lordship Lane and Station Road are lined with flats over shops, some Victorian, some much newer. Plumbing in them is often a puzzle: supply pipes shared with the shop below, waste pipes running through the shop’s ceiling, and stopcocks in odd places. If the leak is coming through into the shop, tell us, as the shopkeeper may need to let us in too.
Bounds Green and Alexandra Park
Towards Bounds Green and up the slopes to Alexandra Palace the houses get bigger, and more of them are split into flats. Shared soil stacks and a single stopcock for the whole house are common. Find out where that valve is before you need it.
Rate
£110 for the first hour, £45 per half hour after that, plus parts, with no call-out fee, day or night. We also cover nearby Tottenham, Hornsey and Palmers Green.

Questions people ask
The drain behind our terrace is blocked and next door is affected too. Whose job is it?
In many Wood Green terraces one drain runs behind or under several houses before it reaches the sewer. Because it serves more than one property, that shared length is normally the water company's responsibility, and Thames Water says this applies even when it runs under gardens. The part that serves only your house is yours.
I have a flat above a shop on the High Road. Where is my stopcock?
Often under your kitchen sink or under the floor by your front door. In some older buildings it is on the landing or even down in the shop. If you cannot find it, the shop's own stopcock or the outside stop valve in the pavement may be the only way to turn the water off.
Are you really based in Wood Green?
Yes. Our address is 6a Crescent Rd, N22, a few minutes from the High Road, so Wood Green, Bounds Green, Noel Park and Alexandra Park are on our doorstep.
