Does licensing in City of London affect plumbing?

National mandatory HMO licensing applies in City of London as everywhere in England. Councils can add further schemes, so check the current position with City of London Council before letting. Licence conditions commonly require current safety certificates to be available on request, which is why we keep every document digitally against the property.

Who is responsible for a leaking pipe in a rented property?

Landlords generally have responsibilities for relevant water installations, but responsibility for a particular leak depends on its source, the tenancy and any building management arrangements. Report it promptly with photographs and location details. Disputes about responsibility should not delay necessary steps to limit an active hazard.

Can you repair a boiler as part of a plumbing visit?

Gas boiler work must be allocated to a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. Describe the appliance and fault when booking so the correct trade can be arranged. Electric water heaters and other systems may require different competence, so a general plumbing visit is not automatically sufficient.

Plumbing in City of London | Peachtree Maintenance

Plumbing in City of London: the local picture

Water problems at Golden Lane or the Barbican may involve a dwelling fitting, neighbouring accommodation or infrastructure maintained for the estate. Describe whether the fault affects cold water, hot water, drainage or heating before arranging investigation. In a Smithfield conversion, pipe routes may also pass through commercial space with different access hours. Peachtree Maintenance coordinates plumbing work with the necessary isolation and entry arrangements. Avoid opening communal cupboards or assuming a visible valve serves only one flat without confirmation from the person responsible for those services.

What the rules say

Under section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, landlords of most residential lets must keep installations for water, sanitation and heating in repair and proper working order. Leaks left unresolved can lead to damp and mould.

We handle leaks, blockages, taps, toilets, cylinders and pipework. Any work on gas appliances is carried out only by Gas Safe registered engineers, and every job comes with before and after photos.
