All the great reviews are completely accurate. Mitch arrived within minutes of our call to fix a blocked shower pan which I just could not unblock with plunger or chemicals. He immediately fixed the problem for a decent price and was super friendly and helpful. It’s hard to find good trustworthy drain technicians but on this evidence FS are the best.

Water pipes

Which pipes are yours to fix

Your home
Indoor pipes, taps, toilets and cisterns are the property owner's. A landlord has to keep them repaired for tenants.
Up to the boundary
The supply pipe from the edge of your land into the house is the owner's too. So is a leak on it.
Beyond the boundary
Your water supplier owns the main in the street. Its pipe runs as far as the outside stop tap, and leaks there are theirs to fix.

Living in a block? Your stopcock may be in the flat, the hallway or a riser cupboard. Find it before a leak starts.

What we see most

Plumbing problems we see most

Limescale build-up

The water here is hard. Scale clogs shower heads, mixer valves and tap cartridges until they drip.

Leaks in tower blocks

In a Poplar or Canary Wharf block, a leak from one flat can run down to the ones beneath it.

Ageing estate pipework

Many Becontree homes in Dagenham are close to a century old. Their stopcocks and older pipes can be stiff or weeping.

Blocked toilets and slow showers

Hair, wipes and soap build up in toilet traps and shower wastes. Our engineers clear them on the same visit.

Outside taps near the forest

Chingford and Woodford gardens often have an outside tap. Frost can split it unless the valve indoors is shut.

Low pressure at the tap

A trickle from the tap can mean scale, a stopcock not fully open or a leak. We test the supply to pin it down.

Plumbing questions we get asked

Is there an emergency plumber in East London at weekends?
Yes. Our help desk is open all weekend, and on bank holidays. A plumber who is nearby and free is sent to the leak.
How do I limit the damage until you arrive?
Turn off the stopcock. Drain the pipes by running the cold taps, and do not touch wet sockets or switches.
Can you unblock a toilet or shower?
Yes. Blocked toilets and slow shower wastes are everyday jobs for us. We clear them and test that the water runs away.
Will you fit a new toilet or tap?
Yes. We fit toilets, cisterns and taps, whether we supply them or you do. The plumber checks the fit before starting.
How much is a plumber in East London?
Weekday work from 8am to 6pm is £80.00 + VAT for each half hour. Other times cost more, and you get the rate first.
Does a landlord have to pay for leaks?
In most cases, yes. Landlords must by law keep water pipes, toilets, baths and basins in repair. Agents can book us direct.
Can my managing agent book you for a block?
Yes. Managing agents and landlords book us for flats and shared areas. We report back to them once the job is done.
Do you guarantee your plumbing?
Yes. We guarantee our plumbing work for six months, T&Cs apply. Ring us if the same problem shows up again within it.
