Northfields has been part of our home patch since the 1980s. Clive Ward did his four-year apprenticeship at Paddington Technical College, qualified with a City and Guilds in Heating and Ventilating, and has spent the last 40+ years installing, servicing and repairing the plumbing in Northfields homes — from the Edwardian terraces along Tudor Road and Carlyle Road to the family streets around Lammas Park, the converted flats above the Northfield Avenue shops and the side streets running off the high street.
David Arthur joined the partnership with full Gas Safe registration (Licence 5981930) and 10+ years of his own gas, heating and plumbing experience. Between us we cover everything from a dripping tap in a Saxon Road conversion to a full central heating installation on Inveresk Gardens, from an annual boiler service on Mansell Road to a midnight burst-pipe callout on Northcroft Road.
The plumbing in Northfields properties has its own rhythm. The Edwardian terraces along Tudor Road, Carlyle Road and Saxon Road typically still have lead service pipes feeding the kitchen tap — replaceable in a day, often the single biggest water-quality upgrade we do for older homes. The 1930s semis off Inveresk Gardens often have the original copper pipework, robust but increasingly prone to pinhole leaks at the bends after 90+ years of London hard water. The converted flats above the Northfield Avenue shops have shared mains feeds with the commercial unit below — boiler swaps need careful coordination with the leaseholder downstairs and the freeholder above.
The Piccadilly line at Northfields station keeps the area popular with central-London commuters; the streets nearest the station have a higher-than-average rate of converted flats and rental properties. We do a steady volume of CP12 landlord certificates for the letting agents working this area.
Lammas Park is the green heart of Northfields — the streets immediately around it are some of the most sought-after in W13. Family homes typically have large family bathrooms and well-used hot water systems; we do a lot of unvented cylinder upgrades in this part of the area when households go from cylinders to mains-pressure systems for the showers.
Hard water is the constant. Thames Water supplies all of Northfields at around 270-300 mg/L total hardness. We fit Adey MagnaClean filters as standard on every boiler installation in W13 9 and recommend annual descaling on combis older than five years.
Over 90% of our work comes from recommendations and repeat customers across Northfields. £5 million Public Liability Insurance, dust sheets and shoe covers on every job, and we notify every gas installation to Ealing Borough Council Building Control through the Gas Safe Register within 30 days.

Yes — that's one of our most common Northfields jobs. The Edwardian terraces along Tudor Road, Carlyle Road and Saxon Road typically still have a lead pipe running from the Thames Water main to the kitchen tap. We replace it with copper or MDPE plastic in a day. Single biggest water-quality upgrade you can do on an Edwardian property — and it removes a long-term lead-leaching risk.
