Does licensing in Kingston upon Thames affect plumbing?

National mandatory HMO licensing applies in Kingston upon Thames as everywhere in England. Councils can add further schemes, so check the current position with Kingston upon Thames 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 Kingston upon Thames: the local picture

New Malden and Old Malden houses may have altered kitchens and extra bathrooms that complicate the route of water supplies and waste pipes. In Surbiton flats, a similar visible stain could originate in a different dwelling or shared service. Peachtree Maintenance investigates accessible plumbing using the reported symptoms, available plans and agreed access. Give details of when the leak occurs and whether isolation changes it. Repairs and photographs should identify what has actually been addressed, with any remaining drying, ceiling repairs or further investigation recorded as separate work rather than assumed complete.

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.
