Why FS Group

Plumbing for 1930s semis and newer flats

Any plumber in Barnet meets two very different kinds of pipework. Semis in Finchley and Edgware can still have old copper, lead or worn stopcocks. New flats in Colindale use plastic pipe and push-fit joints, often boxed in behind panels. Our engineers carry parts for both.

Mitch and Jordan were great guys and did a brilliant job. Had a plumber look at it a day earlier and wasted my money. Would use them again but hopefully not too soon! Check them out if required......

Pipe ownership

Which water pipes are whose

Inside your walls
Pipes, taps and cisterns indoors belong to the property's owner. A tenant's landlord must keep them in repair.
Across your front garden
The owner also answers for the supply pipe, from the boundary to the house. On a deep front garden, that can be a long run to check.
At the pavement
The main and the pipe to your outside stop tap sit with the water supplier. A leak there is theirs to fix.

Shut the indoor valve and drain your outside tap before a hard frost. A split garden pipe can go unseen until the thaw.

Who we work for

Homes, landlords and businesses

Owners and renters

In a Mill Hill semi or a Totteridge family house, the plumber explains the fix before touching a pipe.

Landlords and agents

Landlords with flats in Colindale and North Finchley pass us tenants' leaks and dripping taps. Agents get the report once the job is done.

What we see most

Common plumbing faults in these homes

Scale from hard water

Hard water builds scale in taps and shower valves. Over time, a valve sticks or a tap will not close fully.

Ageing copper and lead

Older semis in Finchley and Edgware can still have lead or thin copper runs. Worn joints start to weep.

Push-fit joints in new flats

In newer Colindale blocks, a push-fit joint not fully seated can leak behind a panel. The flat below then gets wet.

Toilets that run all day

When a fill valve or flush seal wears, water keeps running down the pan. Changing that one part usually stops it.

Frost in long gardens

Outside taps and garage pipes can split when it freezes. An isolation valve lets you empty them before winter.

Low pressure upstairs

Weak flow upstairs may mean scale, a part-closed valve or a hidden leak. We check the supply to find out which.

Plumbing questions from customers

Is there an emergency plumber in Barnet at night?
Yes. Someone answers the help desk all night, every night. If a pipe has burst, the nearest available plumber is sent.
How do I turn off the water?
Use the stopcock, often under the kitchen sink or by the front door. Let the cold taps run until the pipes are empty, and avoid wet sockets.
Who pays for a leak in the front garden?
Between the stop tap and the house, the owner pays and we can do the repair. On the pavement side, your water supplier deals with it.
Can you replace old pipes in a 1930s house?
Yes. We replace worn sections indoors, including lead or thin copper. The plumber checks first and quotes before work begins.
How much is a plumber in Barnet?
Weekdays from 8am to 6pm, it is from £80.00 + VAT each half hour. Other hours cost more, and we tell you the rate before booking.
I rent my flat. Can my landlord book you?
Yes, and letting agents too. In most tenancies, the landlord is the one responsible for water pipes, toilets, basins and baths.
Can the same plumber deal with a blocked pipe?
Usually, yes. A blocked waste pipe can look like a leak, and the engineer can clear it on the visit.
Do your plumbing repairs come with a guarantee?
Yes. You get a six-month workmanship guarantee on each repair, T&Cs apply. Should the same repair fail in those months, ring and we return to fix it.
