Call-out, assessment and labour to fix a small, straightforward issue on the first visit.

Check availability: 020 4571 4235
What if the repair needs more work?

If a first-visit fix isn’t possible, the agreed visit charge still covers the call-out and assessment. We explain the fault and quote any parts, further investigation or larger repair for your approval.

We’ll give you the full visit price when you book. There is no additional call-out fee on top of that price.

Workmanship, warranties and specialist work

Any workmanship guarantee is set out in your written quotation: the work covered, duration, exclusions and how to report a problem. Product warranties follow the manufacturer’s terms. A repair does not automatically guarantee the whole existing system. Your statutory consumer rights are unaffected.

Gas work must be carried out by an appropriately qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. Electrical and unvented hot-water work need the relevant competence and certification where required. Mayfair matches the work to the appropriate specialist.

Start with what you can see

Your repair question, answered

Water under the sink: pipe repair or blocked drain?

Report where the water appears and whether it happens when the tap runs or the sink empties. Leaks from connections and water backing up through a blocked waste need different checks. Mayfair can arrange the appropriate investigation without asking you to dismantle anything.

Exact scope

What Mayfair will check.

The visible water may have travelled from another location. Inspection may need access to nearby rooms, a flat above or shared services before the repair can be defined.

  • Assessment of accessible pipes, joints and wastes
  • Investigation proposals for a concealed source
  • Repair and agreed visible-leak checks

Prepare your enquiry

What to tell the plumber.

  • Describe the affected rooms and fixtures.
  • Mention whether a neighbouring property is involved.
  • Explain existing access panels and who can approve opening-up.

What affects the cost?

Tracing the source, exposing pipework, compatible materials and reinstatement can be separate stages. Agree the investigation charge and reporting before attendance.

Describe the symptom before choosing a repair.

  • Record whether water appears constantly or after a particular tap, shower or appliance is used.
  • Name the affected room and any flat above. Access to another property may need arranging before the source can be inspected.

Example problem & repair approach

Water beneath a sink

The problem: Water collects around an accessible pipe or waste joint.

How we can help: Trace the source, repair the affected connection and check for visible leaks. Concealed faults may need further investigation.

Questions about this repair.

Can you quote for a ceiling leak from a photo?

A photo helps describe the damage but rarely proves the source. Investigation may be needed before a repair price can be confirmed. Ceiling repairs and decoration should be separately included if wanted.

Is leak detection included in a pipe repair?

An accessible leaking joint and an unknown source need different scopes. Confirm whether the visit covers investigation, specialist tracing, opening-up or just a visible repair, and what report you will receive.

Will you repair the ceiling after the leak is fixed?

Tell Mayfair if you want making good included. Stopping the leak, drying the area and repairing plaster or decoration are separate stages that need to be scoped and priced.

Questions about booking a plumber.

How much does a plumber cost in London?

From £85 including VAT for call-out, assessment and labour to fix a small, safely accessible fault on the first visit where possible. We’ll give you the full visit price when you book. Parts and further work need a separate quote and your approval. If the repair needs more work, the visit charge still covers call-out and assessment.

Can I book a plumber near me by postcode?

Send your full postcode and the plumbing problem. We use them to check the appropriate trade and current availability. Postal districts cross borough boundaries, so an area match alone does not confirm attendance.

Can you help landlords and tenants?

Yes. Include the reported fault, who can arrange access and who approves the work. Where a tenant, landlord or managing agent needs to authorise attendance or expenditure, agree that before booking.

Do you offer same-day or emergency plumbing?

Call to discuss current availability. This website does not promise same-day attendance, a fixed response time or 24-hour cover. Do not wait for an online reply if there is an immediate risk.

Can you find matching taps and replacement parts?

Share the brand, model and finish if known. Mayfair can discuss sourcing compatible parts or a suitable replacement, with cost and any return visit agreed before ordering.

Is repairing water-damaged decoration included?

Only if it is included in the written scope. Tell us if you also want plastering, cabinetry repairs or decorating so the complete job can be planned and quoted.
