Does licensing in Ealing affect plumbing?

Ealing 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 Ealing | Peachtree Maintenance

Plumbing in Ealing: the local picture

Bathroom alterations in Hanwell terraces can conceal joints above living spaces, while a Greenford house may present with an accessible external waste pipe or garden drainage problem. Give the repair instruction a clear description of when the leak or blockage occurs and which rooms are affected. In Acton flats above shops, establish access to the premises below if tracing is likely to require it. Peachtree Maintenance can document investigation findings and distinguish private pipe repairs from shared drainage issues requiring another party's authority.

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.
