Plumbing in Catford
Catford is Victorian and Edwardian terraces alongside substantial post-war estate housing, with the River Ravensbourne running through it, which is worth knowing because parts of the area have a genuine surface water and flooding history rather than a theoretical one. Low-lying property here is more exposed to drainage backing up in heavy rain than most of London manages to be, and that changes what an overflowing gully actually means when you see one.
What we cover in Catford
-
Emergency Plumbing
Burst pipes, major leaks and no water. We take calls around the clock and get an engineer moving.
-
Boiler Repair
No heat, no hot water, or a boiler locked out on a fault code. Diagnosed first, then fixed.
-
Boiler Service
The annual check that keeps a boiler safe, efficient and inside its warranty terms.
-
Boiler Installation
A new boiler sized for the property, fitted properly, with the price agreed first.
-
Boiler Replacement
Replacing a boiler that has reached the end, with a straight answer on whether it has.
-
Drain Unblocking
Sinks, toilets and outside drains cleared with proper equipment, not a bottle of chemicals.
-
Leak Detection
Hidden leaks traced with acoustic and thermal equipment, before floors come up.
-
Bathroom Installation
A single fixture swap through to a full strip-out and refit, priced up front.
-
Toilet Installation
A new toilet fitted, an old one swapped, or a WC moved to somewhere it has never been.
-
General Plumbing
Taps, toilets, radiators and pipework. The jobs that never quite get done.
-
Commercial Plumbing
Offices, restaurants, retail and blocks of flats, worked around your opening hours.
-
Gas Safety Certificates
Landlord gas safety certificates issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer, with the paperwork sent the same day.
-
CCTV Drain Surveys
A camera down the drain shows what is actually wrong, rather than guessing from what keeps happening above ground.
-
Drain Repairs
A drain that is actually broken, not just blocked — repaired by digging it up or, where the run allows, without digging at all.
-
Wet Rooms & Walk-In Showers
Level-access showers and full wet rooms, with the tanking and falls that decide whether it leaks in five years or never.
-
Air Conditioning Repair
A system that has stopped cooling, is leaking indoors, or is tripping the breaker — diagnosed before anything is quoted.
-
Air Conditioning Maintenance
Annual maintenance that keeps a system cooling efficiently and catches a refrigerant leak before it becomes a breakdown.
-
Air Conditioning Installation
Split and multi-split air conditioning, sized and sited properly, fitted by F-Gas registered engineers.
-
Air Conditioning Replacement
Swapping out a system that is worn out or failing — including older units on a refrigerant that can no longer be topped up.
-
Blocked Toilet
A toilet that will not flush away, or one that keeps blocking. Cleared, with the cause explained.
-
Shower Installation
Mixer, thermostatic and digital showers fitted — matched to the water system you actually have.
-
Shower Repair
Weak flow, wandering temperature, no hot water or a leak — diagnosed and repaired, usually without a new shower.
-
Bath Installation
One bath out, another one in — or the bath out and a shower in its place.
-
Tap Repair and Replacement
Dripping, stiff and leaking taps repaired, and tired ones swapped for new.
-
Lead Pipe Replacement
Old lead supply pipes replaced with new, from the boundary into the house.
-
Pipe Repair
Burst, split, frozen and corroded pipework repaired — or replaced where patching it would be pointless.
-
Low Water Pressure
Weak taps and showers diagnosed by testing, not by swapping parts and hoping.
-
Central Heating Installation
The whole system — boiler, pipework, radiators and controls — rather than a new boiler on its own.
-
Surface Water Drainage
Rainwater with nowhere to go — standing water on patios, paths and gardens, given somewhere to drain.
-
Gutter Repair
Blocked, leaking, sagging and overflowing gutters cleared and repaired, along with the downpipes below them.
-
Leaking Ceiling
Water dripping or pouring through a ceiling. What to do first, then the source found and stopped — in your home or the flat above.
-
Toilet Repair
Toilets that will not flush, keep running, fill slowly or leak onto the floor. Usually one worn part, replaced without needing a new toilet.
-
Leak Repair
Leaks you can see — dripping joints, weeping valves, perished hoses, overflows running outside — isolated, repaired and checked properly afterwards.
-
Electrical Repairs
Tripping circuits, dead sockets, faulty lighting and extractor fans, traced and fixed with the price agreed first.
-
Emergency Electrician
Power loss, trips that will not reset, burning smells and water in the electrics. We take calls around the clock.

Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords, homeowners and buyers, with any remedial work priced separately.
