Emergency plumber in Croydon
Housing in Croydon ranges from 1930s semis to towers in the town centre, and an emergency looks entirely different in each. In a block, a leak seldom stays in the flat where it began, so the first task is usually getting into the flat above.

Emergency plumber in Croydon
- Flat leaks that the neighbours downstairs spot before the people in the flat causing them do
- Shared supply pipes and communal risers in blocks around the town centre
- Ageing heating in interwar semis giving up once the first proper cold arrives
Croydon emergencies split three ways, and the first step differs in each. In a 1930s semi, you will normally find the stopcock beneath the stairs or the kitchen sink, and turning it off is something you can do yourself straight away. In a flat above a shop, it is harder. The supply for the flat sometimes passes through the shop unit, and at night that means a closed shutter and a keyholder who has to be found. In the town centre towers, the valve that matters is usually on a riser in a locked cupboard, so the building’s out-of-hours contact is the next call after ours. For engineers, access decides a lot here: entrances at the back of a parade, entry phones that do not work, lifts out of service. If you live above a shop, tell us where your own front door actually is, because it is often round the back rather than on the main road.

Questions we often get
Do you work in Croydon?
We do. Croydon falls within Croydon, covering the CR0, CR2, SE25, SW16 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.
The flat above is leaking through my ceiling. What should I do?
Switch off the electrics for that room first. Then contact the upstairs neighbour or the building manager: the stopcock that will stop it is nearly always inside their flat, not yours. Ring us at the same time and we will guide you through the next steps.
The shop below my flat has water coming through its ceiling, and it is closed. Can you still deal with it?
We can deal with anything inside your flat, and that is often where the fault is, because a pipe under your floor shows in the shop ceiling before it shows in your rooms. Turn your stopcock off and ask anyone who can see into the shop whether the dripping slows. If it does, the source is yours. If not, we will need the shop’s keyholder, which usually means the landlord or the out-of-hours number displayed on the shopfront.
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.
