Plumbing That Knows Paddington

Almost every Paddington job negotiates with the 1880s. The terrace rows between Oxford Street and Five Ways still hold original galvanised — and occasionally lead — water services, and attached houses share boundary drainage down the rear lanes, so diagnosing a blocked sewer often starts with a CCTV pass to establish which property actually owns the problem. Heritage overlay rules keep external changes conservative: replacement roof plumbing and visible pipework need to match profiles, which we price in from the start. The bigger modern issue is renovation load — terraces that gained two extra bathrooms and a laundry still drain through the original single line to the street, and undersized rear stormwater connections turn courtyards into pools in a downpour. We do steady relining and drainage-upgrade work here alongside the emergency calls.
