Emergency plumber in Lewisham
- Leaks that first appear two or three storeys below the flat where they began
- Communal risers with the isolation valve behind a locked service cupboard door
- Former council blocks where only the building manager has a key to the plant room
In a Lewisham terrace, the bathroom usually sits in the back addition above the kitchen, while the stopcock is at the front of the house, under the stairs or in the hall floor. So when the bathroom leaks, water comes through the kitchen ceiling, sometimes into the light fittings, and the valve is at the opposite end of the house. Turn the kitchen lights off at the consumer unit before you go looking. In the towers and estate blocks, the working assumption is different: the leak has probably started above you, and not always directly above. Go up floor by floor and knock, because the flat two storeys up may not know. In the newer town centre blocks, the concierge or site team is the quickest way to find the source. At night, give us the entrance that serves your stairwell, not just the building name, and say whether the lifts are running.

Questions we often get
Do you work in Lewisham?
We do. Lewisham falls within Lewisham, covering the SE13, SE4, SE6 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.
Nobody is in the flat above and water is coming through my ceiling. Who can shut it off?
In a block, the valve that matters is normally on the shared riser, not inside the empty flat, so you need a caretaker or the building manager. Ring the emergency number printed on your service charge paperwork and phone us too. We can often work alongside them to get it isolated.
The building manager turned the riser off and the leak stopped, but now nobody has water. What happens next?
That is normal. Isolating a riser cuts every flat it feeds, so the aim is to find the flat with the fault, isolate just that one and get the riser back on as soon as possible. We need access to the source flat to do that, which is why the building manager’s help matters. Once everyone else has water again, the repair in the source flat can be finished properly.
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.
