Does licensing in Croydon affect plumbing?

Croydon Council runs its own licensing arrangements on top of national mandatory HMO licensing. Our summary was last checked on 2026-10-20; always confirm the current position on the council website. 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 Croydon: the local picture

Plumbing investigation in Purley and Sanderstead houses can involve additional bathrooms or altered supply routes, while a West Croydon flat may share drainage with other homes or commercial premises. Establish the affected fittings, timing and isolation arrangements before selecting the repair scope. Where access crosses a tenancy or building-management boundary, obtain the relevant permission. Peachtree Maintenance can arrange investigation and authorised repairs and document visible findings. If the source is concealed or damage extends beyond the immediate leak, further work and reinstatement should be separately agreed rather than assumed to be included.

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.
