Water does not respect borough boundaries, and neither do we. When a pipe bursts in a Greenwich flat, or a toilet starts overflowing an hour before guests arrive, MK Heating takes the call. Our 24/7 emergency line runs every day of the year, and the engineer who answers knows the first three things you should do before we even arrive.
Ring 07950 619 002 if water is going where it should not. Shut the water off at the stopcock while you have us on the phone if you can, and we will take it from there. Emergency plumbing is most of what midnight call-outs are made of: leaks, bursts and blockages that cannot wait until Monday.
Emergency plumbing we handle in Greenwich
- Burst pipes under sinks, behind appliances and under floors
- Leaks coming through ceilings and down inside walls
- Blocked toilets, sinks and outside drains
- Toilets that will not stop running or will not flush
- Failed stopcocks, gate valves and isolation valves
- Leaks from boilers, cylinders and the pipework around them
- Sudden pressure loss or no water at the taps
- Taps, mixers and showers that have let go
And the one we always redirect: a gas smell. Leave the property and ring the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Once the gas supply is safe, come back to us and we will fix the fault behind it.
What happens when you call
The call is short and practical: what is leaking, from where, and can you reach the stopcock. From those answers we give you an arrival window and tell you what to do until the engineer gets there. If turning the water off does not slow things down, we will talk you through the next step while the van is on its way.
Once on site, the engineer stops the leak, explains the cause and quotes before starting the repair. Written quotes, no surprise invoices, and a six-month workmanship guarantee on the work.
Plumbing across Greenwich
Greenwich runs from the Georgian terraces close to the park to the riverside developments further east, with quiet streets of Victorian housing in between. Older houses keep older pipes, and riverside flats often share risers and supplies between floors, which is why one neighbour's leak can show up in two ceilings. We work for owners, tenants and landlords across the area.
Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Greenwich from East London?
Yes. We are an East London firm and we take emergency call-outs across the river to Greenwich. Ring and we will confirm straight away.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Anything where water keeps moving after you have shut the stopcock, or where you have no water, no working toilet or a leak near electrics. If you are not sure, ring and describe it. We will be honest.
Can I text photos of the problem?
Yes, on WhatsApp to 07950 619 002. Photos of the leak and the stopcock help us prepare before the engineer sets off.
