What this means in London

Local conditions we work around

Out of hours in London, the practical obstacles are rarely the plumbing. Getting a van to a central postcode at 2am means ULEZ-compliant vehicles and somewhere to stop; getting into a mansion block means a concierge, a fob or a managing agent; and isolating a communal riser means finding whoever holds that cupboard key. We give you a real arrival time for your postcode when you ring, including when it is bad news, because a number invented to win the call helps nobody at that hour.

Straight answers

Out of hours plumber in London, your questions

Do you really not charge extra at night?
Really. £110 first hour, £45 per additional half hour, at 3am on a bank holiday as on a Tuesday afternoon. The night premium other firms charge is a choice, not a cost.
Who actually turns up?
Our own named engineers, the same people on the Engineers page, on a rota. No subcontracted stranger whose name we don't know either.
What counts as “can't wait until morning”?
Water you can't stop, no heat with vulnerable people, sewage coming up, any gas concern. Genuinely unsure? Ring anyway, we'd rather talk you out of a callout than charge for one you didn't need.
How fast at night?
Often faster than daytime, empty roads. Our averages (52 minutes in London) include the night calls.
Does London water make this more likely?
Frequently, yes. London runs 280 to 320 ppm off the chalk aquifer, and scale is the quiet cause behind a large share of the emergencies we attend, it narrows pipework, coats heat exchangers until a boiler overheats and locks out, and seizes the stopcock on the one night you need it to turn. Add pipework that in much of the city was last touched in the 1960s and the failures cluster in ways we can often predict from the postcode.
