Where we work across South East London

We work out of East Dulwich, so most of South East London is a short drive rather than a trek across town. SE21, SE22 and SE24 are the home patch, and we get out to Peckham, Lewisham and Greenwich most weeks. Ring 07521 853 507 and we will tell you straight away whether we can reach you today.

Dulwich and around

Our home patch. Mostly Victorian terraces and flat conversions, and we are usually the closest plumber you will find to SE22.

Forest Hill and the Honor Oak side

Up the hill and across to Honor Oak. Lots of top-floor flats here, so low pressure and cold radiators come up a lot.

Lewisham and Greenwich

Down towards the river. Lewisham and Catford are a steady run for us, and Greenwich is well inside the patch.

Norwood and the Crystal Palace side

Over the Norwood side. Older systems, bigger houses, and a fair few boilers tucked into a loft cupboard.

Why South East London calls us

A plumber who turns up, and tells you the price first

We are a small outfit based in East Dulwich, not a call centre with a franchise map. The person who answers the phone is the person who comes out, and that is the whole point.

Someone answers, day or night

Burst pipe at two in the morning is not a Monday problem. Our line is answered twenty-four hours a day, and we cover emergencies right across South East London.

No call-out fee, ever

There is no call-out fee. You pay for the work and the parts, not for the van pulling up outside, and you get the price before anything is touched.

Gas Safe 657719, and £2m cover

Gas Safe registered under 657719, with £2m public liability on every job. Check the number on the register before we start if you want to. Plenty of landlords do.

Same-day where the diary allows

Ring before midday and we can usually be with you the same day. If we cannot, we will say so on the phone rather than string you along.

Call-out fee. You pay for the work

Looking for an emergency plumber near you?

If you have typed “emergency plumber near me” while standing in a kitchen with water coming through the ceiling, here is the short version. Our line is answered twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. We cover Dulwich, East Dulwich, Herne Hill, Peckham, Camberwell, Forest Hill, Honor Oak, Brockley, Nunhead, Lewisham, Catford, Penge, Norwood and Greenwich. No call-out fee. If you can smell gas, ring the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first, then call us.

Boiler repairs, servicing and landlord gas certificates

Boilers take up a good part of most weeks. No hot water, a combi locking out, radiators cold at the bottom, pressure dropping every few days. We repair them, we service them, and we issue landlord gas safety certificates across South East London — the CP12 most letting agents want before a tenancy starts. Gas Safe 657719 goes on the paperwork. Ring us and we will usually tell you the likely fault before we come out.

Leaks in old South East London houses

Around Dulwich and Herne Hill a lot of the stock is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, plus flat conversions with pipework buried in odd places. Leaks here are rarely where the damp patch is. We trace them properly instead of opening up half a ceiling on a guess, then repair and make good. Same story with low pressure in top-floor flats and blocked drains behind the older SE22 kitchens.

Questions we get asked

Straight answers, before you ring

These are the eight things people ask us most on the phone. If yours is not here, ring 07521 853 507 — we would rather answer it than have you guess.

Which areas of South East London do you cover?

We cover Dulwich and the surrounding South East London areas from our base in East Dulwich. That includes Dulwich Village, Herne Hill, Peckham, Camberwell, Nunhead, Forest Hill, Honor Oak, Brockley, Lewisham, Catford, Penge, Norwood and Greenwich. If you are just outside, ring and ask — we will tell you straight away rather than waste your afternoon. See every area we cover.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. There is no call-out fee, ever. You pay for the work and any parts, not for the van turning up outside your house. We will give you the price before anything gets touched, so there are no surprises when the job is done. Our rates are published too.

Can you come out today?

Ring before midday and we can usually be with you the same day. It depends on what is already in the diary and where you are, so we will tell you on the phone rather than promise a slot we cannot make. Emergencies get moved to the front of the queue.

Are you Gas Safe registered?

Yes — we are Gas Safe registered under number 657719, and every gas or boiler job is carried out by a registered engineer. You can check the number on the Gas Safe Register before we start if you want to. Plenty of landlords do, and we would rather you did.

Do you cover emergencies at night and at weekends?

Yes — our line is answered twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. A burst pipe at two in the morning is not something that waits until Monday. Ring 07521 853 507 and you will get a person, not a recording.

How quickly can you do a landlord gas safety certificate?

Usually within a few days, and often sooner if a tenancy start date is pressing. The check itself takes under an hour for a typical flat with a boiler and a hob. You get the CP12 record the same day, with Gas Safe 657719 on the paperwork.

Are you insured?

Yes — we carry £2,000,000 of public liability insurance, and it applies to every job we do. That covers your property while we are working in it. If your building management or letting agent needs to see the certificate before we start, just ask and we will send it over.

Water is coming through the ceiling — what do I do right now?

Turn the water off at the stopcock first — usually under the kitchen sink or in the downstairs loo — then ring us. Put a bucket under it and keep off the electrics in that room. If you can also smell gas, ring the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 before anything else.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do you charge? Do you have a price list?

Yes — our pricing is clear and published. See our Rates page for call-out and labour pricing, then we’ll confirm costs before work starts.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

We don’t charge a separate call-out fee. We always charge for the full first hour of work, which covers attending the property, finding the problem and fixing it where possible. After the first hour, time is charged in 15-minute steps only. Prices are always explained clearly before any work starts. You can view our full pricing on the Rates page before booking.

Do you only do emergency plumbing?

No — we do both. We handle emergency callouts and also plenty of booked work like boiler repairs/installs, radiator upgrades, hot water cylinder work, and general plumbing.

My boiler has no hot water or heating — what should I do first?

Check pressure and the thermostat settings, then reset if safe to do so. If the problem persists (especially with error codes), it’s best to book a Gas Safe engineer.

Do you provide annual boiler servicing?

Yes — annual servicing helps spot wear early, improves reliability and is recommended for most boilers. We service leading boiler brands and confirm what’s included before starting.
Annual servicing is commonly recommended to prevent issues and catch early wear.

Are you Gas Safe registered?

We cover Dulwich and surrounding South East London areas including Peckham, East Dulwich, Forest Hill, Herne Hill, Brockley, Lewisham and more. Use the Locations section to find your area.

What should I send to get an accurate quote?

A quick description of the issue, your postcode, and (if possible) a photo or short video of the problem or boiler display. Please send this via WhatsApp — the WhatsApp widget is visible on every page of our website — and it helps us advise faster and quote more accurately.

Are you insured and is the work guaranteed?

SAVING MONEY ON ENERGY BILL THIS WINTER

Gas energy saving meter

Concerned about the significant rise in electricity and gas prices in 2024 and the year 2025?

Energy prices for some consumers are already two to three times higher than they were the previous year. For you, we have fantastic news! You might reduce your gas costs by
up to 40% by installing smart heating controls and utilising modern technologies. How does it operate? You may zone your heating system and just heat the rooms you spend the most time in by adding wireless thermostatic radiator valves. The heating temperatures and timings of each radiator in your home might be precisely adjusted. In the UK, 94% of homes have a single wall thermostat that heats the entire house by turning it on and off. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to heat empty rooms if you just used your heating in the areas where you sleep or work? Wouldn't it be preferable to have distinct heating settings and schedules for your kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom? Installing intelligent zonal heating controls will enable it.
