Plumber Greenwich

In Greenwich’s older cottages the usual suspects are a cracked earthenware pipe seeping under the subfloor, a dried-out or damaged gully trap losing its water seal, or an old abandoned drain that was never properly capped. A camera inspection and a smoke or dye test narrow it down without pulling up floors. Whatever the source, subfloor moisture also invites termites, so it is worth resolving promptly.

For many Greenwich households, yes, but not all. Continuous-flow frees the space the old tank occupied, never runs out mid-shower and only heats water you use. The catch is it needs adequate gas supply and, in bigger homes, careful sizing for simultaneous showers. We quote the conversion and a like-for-like replacement side by side, with running-cost estimates, and let the numbers decide.

Nothing makes leaves stop falling, but the right setup makes them manageable: correctly pitched gutters, outlets sized for peninsula downpours, overflow measures so a blocked outlet cannot push water into the eaves, and quality leaf guards where they genuinely help. We set gutters up so a seasonal clear is routine maintenance rather than an emergency, and we do the clears too if you would rather not climb ladders.

It limits digging, not repairs. Where the sewer or stormwater line sits in a sandstone shelf, we lean on methods that work through existing access: jetting for blockages and structural relining for cracked sections. The result is a repaired pipe without rock cutting. Genuine excavation is reserved for collapsed pipes, and we price it transparently if the camera shows it is truly needed.

Yes. We run or extend the gas line, install bayonet points in the rooms where heaters will live, and test and certify the installation on the day. Greenwich’s older homes often need the line routing planned around subfloor access, which we confirm when quoting. Booking ahead of the cold snap means you are not waiting in the June queue.
