    HOW FAST WE'RE THERE

    Typically 45 minutes to Washington DC.

    We keep a van circulating in Washington DC daily, which means we can usually reach anywhere in the city — from Capitol Hill to Georgetown — well within an hour.

    Traffic around the Beltway can be slow, but our plumbers know the back routes. We don't charge you for time spent stuck in traffic on the way to the job.

    Many properties in DC are historic. We're very familiar with the quirks of older pipework, shared mains in converted buildings, and the specific requirements of the district.

    WHAT WE DO HERE MOST

    Common jobs we handle in Washington DC.

    Every neighborhood has its own quirks. Here's what we see most often in Washington DC.

    OLD PIPEWORK

    Historic plumbing upgrades

    Many DC properties still have original or ageing copper. We frequently upgrade mains feeds to improve water pressure and remove lead.

    HEATING

    High-pressure hot water

    Older buildings often struggle with hot water pressure. We install unvented cylinders and booster pumps to get decent shower pressure across multiple floors.

    BOILERS

    Compact boiler installs

    Space is at a premium in DC. We regularly fit compact combi boilers into tight kitchen cupboards without sacrificing performance.

    BATHROOMS

    Wet room conversions

    A very common request in the area. We handle the full conversion, including necessary tanking and structural considerations for older timber floors.

    LOCAL REVIEWS

    What your neighbors say.

    "Called them at 10pm when a pipe burst under the floorboards in our ground floor flat. They were here in 30 minutes, found the stopcock we didn't know existed, and fixed the pipe. Absolute lifesavers."

    "Fitted a new boiler in our flat near Georgetown. Very professional, respected the property, and the fixed price quote was exactly what we paid. Highly recommended local firm."

    "We've used them three times now for our historic rowhouse. They actually understand how these old houses work. Always on time, always polite."

    IF IT'S URGENT

    Washington DC emergency plumbing, 24/7.

    If water is spreading, gas is escaping, or a boiler has completely failed in cold weather — do these three things first.

    1

    Turn off the water at your stopcock. In most DC properties, especially older rowhouses, it's either under the kitchen sink, in the shared hallway, or right by the front door under the floorboards.

    2

    If it's a gas smell, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line: 0800 111 999. Then call us.

    3

    Call us: 020 7946 0123. We'll dispatch someone immediately.
