Emergency plumber in Harrow

Many Metroland semis in Harrow are now on a second or third heating system, with lengths of the first pipework still hidden behind later work. Here, emergencies usually begin where new pipe meets old.

Emergency plumber in Harrow

  • Joints failing where newer pipe has been connected to the original
  • Old galvanised pipe that rusts from within until it eventually splits
  • Bathrooms in loft conversions fed by pipe runs the first system was never designed for

In a Harrow semi, the stopcock tends to be in the hall by the front door, beneath the stairs or in the sink cupboard, but after two or three heating upgrades it is not unusual for it to be old, stiff and never tested. Turn it gently. If it will not move, do not force it with a wrench, because an old stopcock can snap and make things worse. Use the outside stop tap instead, usually in the front garden or pavement under a small lid. If the leak is from a loft conversion bathroom, switch off the lighting circuit for the rooms below, as the water often finds the light fittings first. With a cylinder in the airing cupboard, turn the immersion heater off if hot water is escaping. Night access here is usually simple: a driveway to park on and a front door facing the road. An outside light still helps on streets of near-identical houses.

Questions

Questions we often get

Do you work in Harrow?

We do. Harrow falls within Harrow, covering the HA1, HA2, HA3, HA5 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.

Should I worry that my pipes are the old grey metal kind?

That is galvanised steel, which rusts internally. The bore narrows slowly for years, then the pipe gives way without warning. If you still have it, plan to replace it before it turns into an emergency.

Water is leaking where new plastic pipe meets the old metal. Can I tighten it?

Turn the water off first rather than trying anything with it live. If it is a compression fitting, a gentle quarter turn sometimes stops a weep, but on old galvanised or iron pipe the thread behind the joint is often corroded and more force can crack it. Wrap it in a towel, put a bowl under it and leave it for the engineer. If it is only weeping, it may not need 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.
