Plumbing & leaks in Kensington and Chelsea.

Plumbing & leaks for Kensington and Chelsea’s buildings.

Kensington and Chelsea is mostly stucco terraces, mews houses and mansion blocks, much of it in conservation areas. That shapes what goes wrong and how we fix it.

Older pipework in period buildings is often lead-to-copper joints and original stopcocks that seize. We isolate carefully and replace what is failing, without ripping out what still works.

Mansion blocks have shared risers and isolation valves that are not always where the label says. Give us the porter’s name on the call so the engineer can get to the valve, not just the flat.

In a converted house one leaking waste can affect three flats. We find where the water actually starts before anyone cuts a ceiling, and we send photo notes you can pass to the flat above, the freeholder or the insurer.

Typical jobs

• Dripping or burst pipe
• Toilet / cistern
• Shower and tap leaks
• Stopcock and isolation

If water is running, call first — we take the postcode, explain the visit charge and send a plumber. Small accessible leaks, dripping taps, toilets and showers are often completed on the first visit. Parts and further pipework are quoted before they start. We cover all 32 boroughs and the City; travel time is said on the call.
