When a tap won't stop dripping or a pipe lets go under the sink, you want a plumber in Croydon who answers, turns up when he says he will, and tells you the price before any spanner comes out. That is how Hills Maintenance & Repairs has worked for more than 30 years.
Rick started the firm after watching too many contractors cut corners on jobs they would never have stood for in their own homes. Every plumbing job we take on across Croydon and South East London gets done to the standard he would want under his own roof, whether it is a five-minute washer change or a full re-pipe.
A local plumber Croydon homeowners trust
We are based in Croydon and cover the whole of Croydon, from Addiscombe and Thornton Heath to South Croydon, Purley and Selsdon, plus the wider stretch of South East London, Kent and Surrey. You deal with a named local tradesman who knows the streets, not a stranger sent from miles away. He turns up himself, sees the job through, and leaves the place tidy.
You tell us what is wrong, we look at it properly, and you get a clear written quote before we start. There are no "while we're at it" extras waiting for you on the invoice.
Plumbing jobs we take on
Most weeks that means the everyday repairs that keep a house running, in the kitchen, the bathroom and everywhere the pipes run:
- Dripping or seized taps, plus full tap and mixer replacements
- Leaking, cracked or blocked sinks and basins
- Running, leaking or blocked toilets and cisterns
- Tracing and fixing leaks before they reach the ceiling below
- Clearing blocked drains, waste pipes and slow-draining gullies
- New pipework, re-routes and repairs in copper or plastic
Leaks and blockages that can't wait
A burst pipe or a blocked drain doesn't keep office hours. As an emergency plumber in Croydon, Rick would rather you call early, while it's still a small leak, than wait until it has soaked through a ceiling and turned into a damp and mould problem too. Call us straight away if:
- Water is coming through a ceiling, wall or light fitting
- A pipe has burst and you can't find the stopcock to turn it off
- A drain, sink or toilet is overflowing and won't clear
What a plumber costs in Croydon
A plumber in Croydon typically charges either by the job or by the hour, and the right price depends on what's actually wrong, the parts it needs and how easy it is to get at. That's why we don't quote blind down the phone.
You tell us what's happening, we look at it properly, and you get a clear written price before any work starts, free and with no obligation. There's no call-out fee, no cash-only pressure, and no "while we're at it" extras waiting on the invoice.
How to avoid a dodgy plumber
Croydon has plenty of good tradesmen and a few you'd rather avoid. Before you let anyone start, check that they:
- Give you a price in writing before the work, not a vague figure after
- Are a named, local person you can ring back, not an anonymous call centre
- Are fully insured, and Gas Safe registered for anything involving gas
- Don't lean on you for cash up front or invent a call-out charge
Gas Safe registered and fully insured
Plumbing and gas overlap more than most people think, so it pays to use someone qualified for both. Hills Maintenance & Repairs is Gas Safe registered and fully insured, with 30 plus years on the tools behind every job. Work that needs certifying, including any electrical work, is signed off properly, and you get a real person to ring afterwards if anything is not right.
