Plumbing repairs in London
A dripping fitting, running toilet or leak under a sink can have different causes even when the symptom looks similar. Send the location, age if known and photographs of the affected fixture. We check whether an ordinary plumbing visit or specialist investigation is appropriate.
If water is escaping, isolate it at the nearby valve or main stopcock if you can do so safely. Keep clear of wet electrical fittings. A hidden leak behind a wall is a different job from a visible repair; our leak detection page explains that route.
Which plumbing fault do you have?
A visible leak beneath a sink differs from unexplained damp inside a wall. Note whether water appears only when the fixture is in use or whether it keeps flowing when everything is shut off. This helps distinguish a supply connection from a waste connection.
A running toilet can waste water without leaving a puddle, while a loose tap fitting may only leak into the cabinet below. Check the affected room and any ceiling beneath it, but do not open a ceiling or disturb wet electrical fittings to look for a source.
Before a repair visit
If water is escaping, use a reachable local valve or main stopcock only if it is safe. Photograph the fault and any visible make or model. Tell us if you have already tried a repair or if the fitting is difficult to access behind furniture or boxing.
We use these details to assess whether a standard plumbing visit is suitable. Parts, concealed damage and any further investigation cannot be promised from a photograph. We confirm the visit scope and any separate follow-up work before it is agreed.
Repair, replacement or specialist investigation
A repair may mean working on a fitting or pipe connection, while a worn or unavailable component may make replacement more sensible. We check the condition and access before recommending either route. Larger installation work is quoted to a defined scope.
If water is appearing away from visible pipework, a leak detection survey may be a better first step. If several waste outlets back up at once, the drainage service is more relevant. This page helps route ordinary visible plumbing faults, not diagnose every hidden cause remotely.
Costs and the next step
Tell us your postcode, the type of fixture, when the problem started and whether water has been isolated. The general plumbing page explains the existing hourly small-job route. We confirm the applicable charge and any parts before a visit or further work is agreed.
For a larger repair, send photographs and a short description through the quote form so the scope can be reviewed. If a first visit reveals additional work, we explain what was found and agree the next step rather than assuming it was included.
Frequently asked questions
Can I ask about a small plumbing repair?
Yes. Describe the fault, tell us whether water is escaping and share photographs if available. We will confirm the appropriate next step.
Is a leak under the sink a plumbing repair?
Often, but the source could be a supply fitting or the sink waste. Tell us when the leak appears and show both sides of the cabinet if safe.
Do I need to turn the water off?
If water is escaping, use a reachable local valve or stopcock if it is safe. Stay clear of wet electrical fittings and tell us whether the flow stopped.
Can you repair a running toilet?
Send a brief description of when it runs and a photograph of the toilet. We check the likely repair scope and parts before agreeing the work.
What if the leak is hidden behind a wall?
A hidden source may need leak detection rather than an ordinary visible repair. Note where the damp shows and whether the water meter changes when fixtures are off.
