Plumbers and drain clearance across Islington, from Angel and Barnsbury to Highbury, Holloway and Archway: leaks between flats, blocked drains and toilets, and lead pipe replacement in period homes. Written price first, 24 hour emergency line, 12-month workmanship guarantee.
The Georgian terraces around Canonbury, Barnsbury and Highbury Fields are listed or in conservation areas, and need a plumber who understands original plasterwork and lath-and-plaster ceilings. Lead pipework often needs replacing room by room rather than ripped out wholesale, and rerouting waste pipes through period floors without damaging the cornicing is a daily job for us in N1.
Victorian conversions across N5 and N7 dominate the rental market. Most flats sit one above the other, so leaks travel, shared stacks fail and older drains block under the load of several households. Drain repairs, jetting and descaling are some of the jobs we are asked for most across the borough.
Around Old Street, Angel and the City Road basin, newer apartments bring post-completion plumbing snags, and across N19 (Archway and Tufnell Park) we look after Victorian conversions for letting agents on rolling maintenance.

Read moreBlocked or overflowing toilets cleared same-day, with the cause checked so it stays fixed.
Read moreHidden leaks traced to the source, from a damp patch on a ceiling to a boiler losing pressure, then repaired.

Read moreIslington is period property let at scale, which puts a premium on knowing the pipework and moving quickly.
Lead supply pipes, cast-iron stacks and waste runs under period floors are routine for us in N1 and N5. We replace and reroute without wrecking the plasterwork around them.
Blocked drains and toilets in converted houses usually have a cause: fat, scale, roots or a failing shared stack. We clear the blockage, then tell you what caused it, so it is a fix rather than a repeat call.

Excellent service from ARI maintenance, arrived on time and fixed the problem very promptly they were amazing to deal with from start to finish As you can imagine the stress I was under after discovering a severe leak in my bathroom but thanks to ARI maintenance they took the stress out of the situation and had it all sorted in no time.
