Does licensing in Wandsworth affect plumbing?

Wandsworth 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 Wandsworth | Peachtree Maintenance

Plumbing in Wandsworth: the local picture

Leaks in Battersea apartment buildings can involve a neighbouring flat or communal riser, whereas a Furzedown terrace may have accessible pipework beneath a kitchen extension. Peachtree Maintenance uses the location, timing and visible effects of the leak to plan investigation and agreed repairs. Tell the tenant how to locate the isolation valve where known, and notify the building manager if common services may be affected. For Putney conversions, establish permission before opening shared areas. Photo evidence should show the source addressed and identify separate drying or making-good work still required.

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.
