Plumbing in Bromley: what to know

Bromley's housing runs from Victorian terraces near the town centre and Bromley North to big 1930s semis in Bickley, Shortlands and Hayes. Older properties often still have original lead or iron pipework, cast-iron soil stacks and clay drains, which are the usual suspects when a drain backs up or a pipe gives way.

Local tip

In a big 1930s semi the stopcock is often in the front room or under the stairs rather than under the sink. Look for a brass tap where the supply comes in from the street. In flats above shops on the High Street, the stopcock may be in a shared riser cupboard, so it's worth finding it before you need it.

Plumbing problems we help with in Bromley

We cover blocked drains, burst pipes and leaks, boilers and toilets in Bromley; pick the one that matches your problem.

While you wait: what to do now

Shut off the water at the stopcock first, then keep clear of electrics and gas until help arrives.

  1. Find your stopcock and turn it clockwise to shut off the mains. It's usually under the kitchen sink, but in older houses it can be under the stairs, in a downstairs loo or beneath floorboards near the front door.
  2. If water is near electrics, switch off the affected circuits at the consumer unit, but only if you can reach it with dry hands and without standing in water.
  3. Open the cold taps to drain the system once the mains is off, and turn off a combi boiler or immersion heater.
  4. Smell gas? Don't call a plumber. Leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999.

Questions people ask

How quickly can a plumber get to me in Bromley?
Call and we aim to have a local plumber phone you back within the hour. They'll tell you when they can be with you; arrival times depend on traffic and how many other emergencies they have on.
Do you cover Bickley, Hayes, Shortlands and Bromley Common?
Yes. Calls from anywhere in BR1 and BR2 are passed to plumbers who cover those areas.
Who is responsible for a blocked drain in Bromley?
In England, the pipe that only serves your property is your responsibility. Once it joins a pipe shared with neighbours or runs outside your boundary, it's usually the sewerage company's (Thames Water for most of Bromley). A plumber can tell you which side of the line the blockage is.
