Emergency Plumber in Streatham — Fast, Honest, Same-Day
I'm Peter, an independent Level 2 qualified plumber based in Streatham with over 25 years' experience. When you've got a burst pipe, major leak, or no water, I aim to be at your door within 2 hours — no call-out games, no corporate agency fees, just a straightforward fix done properly with copper press-fit and soldered pipework, not the plastic push-fit shortcuts that fail again later.
What counts as a plumbing emergency
-
Burst or leaking pipe
-
No water supply to your home
-
Flooding from a pipe, tank, or appliance connection
-
Toilet that won't stop running or overflowing
-
Major leak under a sink, bath, or floor
-
Radiator or heating pipework leak
If you're not sure whether it's an emergency, call or send a photo on WhatsApp — I'll tell you honestly whether it can wait or needs immediate attention.
What to do while you wait for me
-
Find your stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink, near the front of the house, or in a utility cupboard) and turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply.
-
If water is near electrics, switch off the relevant circuit at your fuse board if it's safe to reach.
-
Catch what you can — towels, buckets, anything to limit water damage while you wait.
-
Don't try to fix it yourself with tape or sealant — it usually just delays a proper repair and can make the eventual fix harder.

FAQs
How fast can you get to me?
Typically within 2 hours for genuine emergencies in Streatham and surrounding SW London areas, depending on my current job.
Do you charge extra for emergency callouts?
My rates are £90–£100/h, charged honestly with no hidden corporate fees — ask upfront and I'll confirm before I start.
Do you do gas or boiler emergencies?
No — I'm a plumbing specialist and not Gas Safe registered, so I don't work on gas appliances or boilers. I focus entirely on water-side plumbing: pipes, leaks, drains, radiators, and fixtures.
