Why a Local SE6 Plumber Matters
Catford housing is a real mix — Victorian and Edwardian terraces along the lines off Brownhill Road and Sangley Road, post-war semis around Bellingham, and newer flats and conversions through the centre. Each has its own quirks. The Victorian terraces tend to have older copper pipework, sometimes with hidden lead at junctions, and back boilers or older Worcester Bosch combis tucked into airing cupboards. The post-war stock often has system boilers in the kitchen with hot-water tanks upstairs — different beast, different fixes.
We've seen them all. When we arrive, we don't guess — we diagnose. That means fewer "we'll need to come back with the part" trips, and a clearer first quote.
