Does licensing in Richmond upon Thames affect plumbing?

National mandatory HMO licensing applies in Richmond upon Thames as everywhere in England. Councils can add further schemes, so check the current position with Richmond 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 Richmond upon Thames | Peachtree Maintenance

Plumbing in Richmond upon Thames: the local picture

Plumbing investigation in East Sheen terraces often starts with understanding later kitchen and bathroom alterations, whereas a leak in a Richmond apartment may require access to an upstairs dwelling or shared riser. Peachtree Maintenance uses the reported pattern, visible damage and available isolation points to scope investigation and repairs. Provide photographs and tell the building manager where shared services may be involved. In Teddington family houses, record any previous repair in the same location. The completed job should distinguish the repaired source from remaining drying or decorative work so the landlord can plan the next step.

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.
