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.

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.

Recent jobs around Wood Green

Our office is on Crescent Road. A few jobs from the neighbouring postcodes, from our Checkatrade profile, each written by the customer after the job:

• N11, April 2024, twenty past one in the morning. A nail driven into a pipe earlier that evening started leaking hard after midnight. The household had shut the stopcock and drained the tanks, but the pipe kept going; our engineer arrived while they were still holding a finger over the hole.
• N17, May 2023. A dripping tap on an old-fashioned set that most plumbers would have replaced. The engineer tracked down the right cartridge instead, and the customer singled out the lack of a call-out fee.

Both are a short drive from the High Road. If you have had us out in N22 itself, a review on Google or Checkatrade helps your neighbours more than anything we can write here.

From one of our recent jobs: a toilet waste joint that had been weeping behind the boxing for weeks. In the flats above the High Road a leak like this usually shows up first on the shop ceiling below, so it is worth lifting the panel the moment a bathroom smells damp.

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.
