Roehampton is the western end of SW15, between Putney Heath and Richmond Park, and its plumbing comes in two very different kinds. The Alton Estate is one of the largest post-war housing estates in London, with slab blocks, point blocks and low-rise maisonettes that share risers, stacks and heating runs, so one failed joint can affect several homes and the first sign is often a neighbour’s ceiling. Around the university and along Roehampton Lane the housing is older villas, interwar semis and newer flats, each with its own quirks.
We cover all of Roehampton for burst pipes, water coming through the ceiling, no hot water and blocked drains, 24 hours a day.
Flats and shared pipework
If you are in a block, isolate your own flat first: the stopcock is usually in the hallway cupboard or under the kitchen sink, and the heating may have its own valves. Our guide to leaks from a neighbour’s flat and whose insurance pays covers the awkward conversation. Call 07360 268948 and tell us the block and floor so the plumber comes with the right access plan.
