An overflow pipe runs constantly outside the back wall, leaving a green streak down the brickwork and a puddle below. It looks harmless until the cistern valve behind it finally fails and the trickle becomes a pour. Newham's mix of terraces and newer flats throws up these quiet faults all year, and MK Heating takes the emergency call when they turn loud.
The 24/7 line is 07950 619 002. Ring it for overflows that will not stop, pipes that have burst, toilets that have given up or water appearing anywhere it should not be. An engineer answers, not a call centre, and quotes come before work starts, always in writing when the job is more than a small fix.

Where gas is concerned we hand over to the specialists: leave the property and ring the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. When they have made the supply safe, we will repair the fault that caused the smell.
What happens when you call
We triage honestly. An overflowing cistern at midnight gets an engineer; a slow drip from a garden tap gets a booked appointment and a fair price instead of an emergency call-out you did not need. Either way you get an arrival window and a call if it changes.
Jobs are quoted before they start, with free written quotes for anything beyond a straightforward fix. Completed work carries our six-month workmanship guarantee, and we tidy up behind ourselves: floors swept, wet towels taken away, taps tested in front of you.
Plumbing across the borough
Newham stretches from Stratford's newer towers to the terraced streets of East Ham and Manor Park, and the plumbing stock varies as much as the housing. Recent developments run on modern push-fit systems with their own habits, while the terraces hide decades of repairs behind larder doors and airing cupboards. We cover the whole borough for owners, tenants and landlords.
Frequently asked questions
Is a running overflow really urgent?
It is a repair worth booking soon rather than a midnight emergency, unless water is coming inside. The valve feeding the cistern or tank will fail completely eventually, usually at a bad time.
Do you cover the whole of Newham?
Yes, from Stratford to East Ham and everywhere between. Ring 07950 619 002 and we will confirm your street.
Can you repair the toilet on the first visit?
Most of the time. Valves, syphons and fittings ride on the van; if a specific part is needed we quote and book the return before leaving.
