Why FS Group

Plumbing repairs for Kent homes, old and new

We send plumbers to Gravesend, the Medway towns, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells and Ashford. A Victorian terrace in Chatham and a new-build in Ashford need different fixes. Old houses have worn copper and lead pipework, while new ones use plastic push-fit joints. Our engineers work on both, and they bring the usual parts with them.

Pipe ownership

Who mends which water pipe

Inside the house
Taps, valves, cisterns and the pipes between them belong to the property. In a rented home the landlord keeps them in repair.
From the boundary in
The supply pipe across your front garden is the owner's responsibility. Leaks on it are yours to repair.
Under the pavement
The main and the outside stop tap belong to your water supplier. Leaks on their side go to them.

Test your stopcock once a year, so it turns when you need it. Old ones seize up if they are never used.

Owners and renters

In a Rochester terrace or a Tonbridge detached house, the plumber explains the fault before starting.

What we see most

Plumbing faults we see most in Kent

Hard water scale

Kent water is hard, so taps and shower valves fur up. A scaled cartridge drips even when the handle is tight.

Old lead and copper pipes

Older houses in Chatham and Rochester can still have lead or thin copper pipework. Joints weep as it ages.

Push-fit joints on new builds

On newer estates, a plastic joint that was not pushed fully home can work loose and leak inside a wall.

Toilets that never stop

When the fill valve fails, water trickles into the bowl all day. A new valve or seal usually fixes it.

Frozen outside pipes

Outside taps and garage pipes split in a hard frost. An isolation valve inside lets you drain them for winter.

Pressure that drops

Weak flow upstairs can come from a part-closed valve, scale or a hidden leak. We test the supply to find the cause.

Plumbing questions from Kent

Can I get an emergency plumber in Kent at night?
Yes. Our help desk answers around the clock, every day of the year. For a burst pipe, the closest free plumber is sent to you.
How do I stop the water before you arrive?
Close the stopcock, usually under the kitchen sink. Then run the cold taps to empty the pipes, and keep clear of any wet electrics.
Who fixes a leak on the pipe outside?
It depends where it is. On your side of the outside stop tap, the pipe is yours and we can repair it. On the street side, report it to your water supplier.
Can you replace old pipework?
Yes. Leaking or worn runs of pipe inside the house can be replaced. The plumber looks first and quotes before any work.
What does a plumber in Kent charge?
From £80.00 + VAT for each weekday half hour, 8am to 6pm. Out-of-hours work costs more. The help desk gives you the rate before you book.
Can my landlord or letting agent book you?
Yes. Many of our plumbing jobs are booked by agents. In most tenancies, the landlord is responsible for repairs to the water supply and sanitary fittings.
Do your plumbers clear drains too?
Yes. If the leak turns out to be a blocked waste pipe, the same engineer can clear it on that visit.
Do you guarantee plumbing repairs in Kent?
Yes. Every repair carries our six-month workmanship guarantee, T&Cs apply. If it fails again within six months, we return and put it right.
