Does licensing in Islington affect plumbing?

Islington 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 Islington | Peachtree Maintenance

Plumbing in Islington: the local picture

A leak in a Barnsbury basement flat can originate from internal plumbing, an upper dwelling or services outside the tenancy. Report when it occurs and whether kitchen, bathroom or heating use changes the symptoms. In Clerkenwell conversions, commercial premises may share part of the pipe route, while Highbury blocks can require managed isolation of a common supply. Peachtree Maintenance coordinates plumbing investigation and repairs within the access agreed. Obtain the relevant neighbour or managing agent contact before assuming the source can be reached entirely from the affected flat.

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.
