How It Works
How Emergency Plumber and Boiler Repair Works
Emergency Plumber and Boiler Repair is one phone number in front of a group of independently owned local plumbing and heating companies. When you call, we work out which of them can reach your address soonest and is set up for what has gone wrong, and it is that company, not a fixed crew of ours, that comes to the door.
South London plumbing is not one kind of job. A burst pipe in a Tooting terrace, a combi that has choked on hard water in Mitcham, a drain backing up near the Wandle in Morden and a flat-conversion leak in Colliers Wood call for different skills and different kit. A network lets us send the specialist who suits the job, instead of forcing every call through one van.
Distance matters as well. Mitcham, Colliers Wood, Tooting and Morden are a few miles apart along the A24 and its neighbours, and a single crew loses time crossing the borough boundary between Merton and Wandsworth. Matching the closest available partner to your address means less time between the call and someone at the door, which counts when water is already coming through a ceiling.

Step by Step
What Each Step Involves
Call or send the details
Ring 07897 016796 or use the form with a short description of the problem and your address. The line is open 24 hours, so a leak at midnight is treated the same as a boiler service booked for next week. We do not price on this call; we are working out what the job needs.
We match you to the nearest fit
A blocked drain, a boiler lockout and a hidden leak are different jobs, so we match for skill as well as distance. Across Mitcham, Colliers Wood, Tooting and Morden that usually means whichever suitable partner is closest, and we call you back, usually within about ten minutes.
They confirm and we text you who is coming
The partner company confirms a time with us and we text you their name and details straight away, so you know exactly who to expect. Nobody turns up unannounced, which matters most at night.
A written quote, then the work
The partner looks at the problem first, then gives a written quote that names the parts and labour before anything is opened up or ordered. You see the figure before the job begins, and the partner then does the work themselves.
They invoice you and we stay on it
The partner company invoices you and takes payment directly. We handle no payment and send no invoices. If something is not right afterwards, ring 07897 016796 and we will chase it with the partner on your behalf.
Why It Works
Why a Network Beats One Fixed Crew
It comes down to speed, the right skill for the job and one number that stays accountable.
Faster to your door
With partner companies spread across Merton and Wandsworth, the one nearest to you takes the call instead of a single crew crossing the whole borough. On a frozen-pipe morning that is real time saved.
The right specialist for the job
Clearing a root-blocked drain, swapping a combi and tracing a hidden leak are not interchangeable jobs. We match each one to a partner who is set up for that kind of work.
One number that stays on it
You deal with the same line throughout, 07897 016796, even though a different independent company does the physical work each time. If a job does not go to plan, that is the number you ring, and we follow it up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who actually does the plumbing or heating work?
An independently owned local plumbing and heating company from our partner network does the physical work, not an in-house crew of ours. Once you have called, we work out which partner can reach you soonest and suits the job, then hand it to them. They look at the problem, quote in writing and carry out the work, while we stay on the phone as your single point of contact throughout.
Who do I pay for the work?
You pay the partner company directly once the job is done, on the terms in their written quote. We do not take payment or raise an invoice for any plumbing or heating work ourselves, so that side sits between you and the company that did the job. Keep any receipt they give you for your records, since we do not hold a copy of it.
Is there anything charged on top of the partner's quote?
No. We do not invoice you or take a fee from you for arranging the job, and your price is whatever the partner company puts in writing after looking at the problem. If a final invoice ever looks different from what was agreed, ring 07897 016796 and we will look into it with the partner. There is no separate charge added by us on top.
What happens if something is wrong after the work?
Go back to the partner company first, because they did the work and are best placed to put it right, and most issues are settled at that level. If you cannot get anywhere with them, ring 07897 016796 and we will chase it on your behalf. We cannot promise an outcome, since the contract sits with the partner, but we will not leave you without a way to escalate.
Will I know who is coming to my address?
Yes. Once your job is matched to a partner, we text you their company name and details before anyone arrives. You are never left guessing who is about to knock, and if that text has not arrived as the visit approaches, ring 07897 016796 and we will confirm it straight away.
Which areas does the network cover?
The network reaches Mitcham, Colliers Wood, Tooting and Morden, with neighbouring Pollards Hill and Streatham within range. Mitcham, Colliers Wood and Morden are in the London Borough of Merton, and Tooting is in Wandsworth. Call 07897 016796 with your address and we will tell you straight away who can get to you.
