Do you cover Sidcup, Blackfen, Lamorbey and Foots Cray?

Yes. Calls from DA14 and DA15 go to local plumbers who work across Sidcup and the surrounding areas.

My neighbours' drain is overflowing into my garden. Who do I call?

If the blockage is in a drain shared by more than one property, it's usually the sewerage company's job (Thames Water in Sidcup), and they won't charge you. If it only serves one house, the owner is responsible. A plumber can check with a camera if it isn't obvious.

Will the plumber give me a price before starting?

Yes. The plumber who calls you back will discuss the problem and give you a price or call-out rate before any work starts. You pay the plumber directly.

Plumbing in Sidcup: what to know

Much of Sidcup, Blackfen and Lamorbey was built between the wars, so you'll find a lot of semis and terraces approaching a century old. Shared drain runs behind terraces are common, so one blockage can affect several houses, and original stopcocks have often seized after decades without being used.

Local tip

Test your stopcock now: turn it off and on again gently. If it won't move, don't force it, because old stopcocks can snap. A plumber can replace it. In maisonettes the stopcock for the upstairs flat is sometimes in the downstairs entrance.

Plumbing problems we help with in Sidcup

We cover blocked drains, burst pipes and leaks, boilers and toilets in Sidcup; 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.

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.
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.
Open the cold taps to drain the system once the mains is off, and turn off a combi boiler or immersion heater.
Smell gas? Don't call a plumber. Leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999.
