Emergency plumber in Clapham
- House shares where none of the tenants know where to find the stopcock
- Burst washing machine and dishwasher hoses in kitchens that get heavy use
- Calls from landlords and letting agents whose tenant needs someone out tonight
In a Clapham house share, the first part of any emergency goes on working out who is in charge. Pick one person to call, one to find the stopcock and one to meet the engineer at the door. If a washing machine or dishwasher hose has failed, there is often a small lever valve on the pipe behind the machine, and turning that off shuts down the appliance while the taps and bathrooms carry on working. In the Victorian terraces the main stopcock tends to be under the stairs, in a cellar, or under a hatch in the front hall floor. At night, access is simple in principle and messy in practice. The doorbell might not be heard from a top-floor room, and the person who rang us might have gone out. Give us the mobile number of whoever will actually open the door. If the landlord or agent needs to authorise work, having their out-of-hours number ready saves time.

Questions we often get
Do you work in Clapham?
We do. Clapham falls within Lambeth, covering the SW4, SW11, SW9 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.
I am a tenant. Do I ring you or my landlord?
When water is doing damage right now, shut it off and deal with that before anything else, then let your landlord or agent know. Plenty of them already use us. In an emergency you can ring us yourself and we will come out and bill whoever is responsible, as long as you explain the arrangement at the start.
Our washing machine flooded the kitchen but the water has stopped. Is it still an emergency?
Probably not, once the supply is off and nothing is still running. Leave the machine unplugged with its valve closed, mop up, and check the ceiling below if another flat sits under your kitchen. It becomes urgent again if water keeps appearing, the floor stays wet underneath, or the downstairs neighbour reports a drip. Otherwise it can be booked as an ordinary repair in daylight, which is cheaper for you than a night visit.
How much will it cost?
Before an engineer starts, you are given a price for the job. Should something hidden in a wall change what is needed, we stop and discuss it with you first, instead of pressing on and sending the bill later.
