Why FS Group

Plumbing for converted houses, maisonettes and homes above shops

A plumber in Islington often works around other people. In a house split into flats, your pipes may run through a neighbour's ceiling. One stopcock can sit in a shared hallway. Homes over shops on Upper Street can leak straight into a business below. We trace the fault, isolate only what we must and bring the usual parts.

Plumber ratesFrom £80.00 + VAT

Billed by the half hour on weekdays, from 8am until 6pm. Outside those hours, the help desk gives you the higher rate when you ring.

Pipe ownership

Which pipes are whose

Inside your flat
Pipes and fittings indoors belong to the property owner. A landlord has to keep the water pipes, basins, baths and toilets in a tenant's home in repair.
Boundary to front door
The supply pipe from the boundary inward is the owner's job. In a split house, more than one owner may share it.
In the street
Your water supplier must repair the main and the pipe leading to the outside stop tap.

Find out today where your stopcock is. In a conversion it may be in a hall cupboard, not your kitchen.

Who we work for

Homes, landlords and businesses

Owners and renters

In a Barnsbury maisonette or an Archway flat, you hear what has failed before work begins.

Landlords and agents

A landlord or agent can send us a tenant's repair request. They receive a written report and photos when the job ends.

What we see most

Plumbing faults we often meet in split houses

Furred taps and valves

Hard water leaves scale on cartridges and shower valves. Soon the tap drips, however firmly you close it.

Lead and worn copper

Some Georgian and Victorian houses around Canonbury still have lead or thin copper runs. Joints start to weep with age.

Water into the flat below

In a split house, pipes run under floors and across ceilings. A slow leak can show up one floor down.

Supply shared between flats

When flats share an old supply, one running tap can lower the flow in the next. We test the pressure to find the cause.

Toilets that keep running

A failed fill valve sends water into the bowl without stopping. A new valve or seal is usually the fix.

Frost in yards and lofts

Pipes in rear yards, lofts and unheated hallways can split in a hard frost. An indoor valve lets you drain the outside run.

What people ask our plumbers

Can I reach an emergency plumber in Islington on a Sunday?
Yes. The help desk works every day and night of the year. A burst pipe gets the closest free plumber.
What if I cannot find my stopcock?
Look under the kitchen sink, then in hall cupboards and the basement. If you still cannot find it, tell the help desk, and keep away from wet electrics.
Who repairs a leak on the street side?
Your water supplier, if it is beyond the outside stop tap. Between that tap and the house, the pipe is the owner's, so we can repair it.
Can you replace worn pipes in a flat?
Yes. We replace leaking or worn sections inside the home. The plumber checks them first and prices the job before starting.
What does a plumber in Islington charge?
Weekdays, 8am to 6pm, start from £80.00 + VAT every half hour. Rates rise on evenings, weekends and bank holidays. You get that figure on the call.
Can a landlord or agent arrange the visit?
Yes. Agents regularly book us for tenants. Give us the address, the tenant's number and who should get the report.
Can the same visit cover a blocked waste?
Yes. A slow sink often means a blocked waste pipe, and the engineer can clear that while there.
Is plumbing work guaranteed?
Yes. We stand behind repairs for six months, T&Cs apply. Should the repair fail in that time, we come back and correct it.
