Local Plumbers With Real Local Knowledge
Thames Plumber Services has been serving homeowners, landlords and property managers along the Erith and surrounding areas for over ten years. We're based in Erith, and our engineers know this stretch of Kent and South East London inside out — from the DA8 streets of Northumberland Heath down through Slade Green, across to Crayford, and east to Northfleet and Swanscombe on the edge of the estuary.
We're a family-run business. That means you're dealing with people who take their reputation seriously. We don't send subcontractors you've never met. Our Gas Safe registered engineers have been with us for years, and many of our customers have been calling us back for the same reason.
This part of Kent and South East London has its own character — a mix of Victorian terraces, post-war council estates, modern flat developments and older detached homes, each with different plumbing and heating challenges. Whether you need a new combi boiler fitted in a Thamesmead flat, a full central heating system in a semi-detached in Belvedere, or a gas safety certificate for a rental property in Northfleet, we bring the same standard of care to every job.
Our Plumbing & Heating Services
We cover the full range of residential plumbing and heating work. Here's what we do:
Boiler Installation
We install combi, system and regular boilers from Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal, Baxi and Viessmann. 10-year manufacturer warranty on selected models.
Boiler Repair & Service
Same-day repair call-outs where possible. Engineers carry comprehensive spares to resolve most common faults on the first visit. Annual servicing from £85.
Central Heating
Full system installation, powerflush, thermostatic radiator valves and smart thermostats including Nest and Hive. All aspects of central heating work covered.
Plumbing Repairs
Leaking taps, burst pipes, blocked drains, faulty cisterns, low water pressure — emergency and routine repair work, 24 hours a day across Erith and surrounding areas.
Bathroom Fitting
Bath replacement to full bathroom renovation including tiling, wet room installation and en-suite fitting. One team manages all the plumbing.

What Our Customers Say
“Our boiler packed in on a Thursday evening in January. I called Thames Plumber Services and an engineer was at our house in Erith within the hour. He diagnosed the fault, had the part on his van and fixed it that night. Professional, tidy and genuinely helpful. Won't use anyone else.”
“I manage several rental properties in Thamesmead and need reliable gas safety certificates every year. Thames Plumber Services are always prompt, always professional and the paperwork is with me the same day. Really takes the stress out of the legal compliance side.”
“Excellent work on our bathroom in Belvedere. We had a full suite replaced including a walk-in shower conversion. The guys were clean and tidy throughout, they communicated well and the finished result looks brilliant. Took a day longer than expected but they were transparent about why and didn't charge extra.”
“I was sceptical about getting a new boiler fitted — big job, lots of mess. Thames Plumber Services made it painless. They turned up on time, laid dust sheets everywhere, fitted a Worcester Bosch in about six hours and left the place cleaner than they found it. The 10-year warranty is reassuring too.”
“Called about a burst pipe under the kitchen floor at 7 in the morning. They were there by 8:30. Located the leak quickly, repaired it properly rather than a quick patch, and the price was fair. This is what local tradespeople should be like.”
“Had a full central heating system installed in our Swanscombe house — it had storage heaters before and was absolutely freezing in winter. The team did a great job, very little disruption and the house is warm for the first time since we moved in. Highly recommended.”
“Used Thames Plumber Services for a gas safety check on my flat in Northfleet. Quick to book, arrived on time, thorough check and the CP12 was emailed over within the hour. Competitive price too. Will use again next year without question.”
“Our old boiler was making a terrible noise and losing pressure every few days. The engineer from Thames Plumber Services explained exactly what was going wrong, gave us options to repair or replace, and didn't push us either way. We chose to replace and the new installation went without a hitch. Really honest, straight-talking service.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a plumber cost in Erith and surrounding areas?
For routine call-outs, you can expect to pay in the range of £50–£70 for the initial visit, with labour typically charged at £60–£80 per hour after that. Emergency rates for out-of-hours call-outs are approximately £100 per hour. For larger projects — boiler installations, central heating systems, full bathroom fits — we provide written, free-of-charge estimates so you know exactly what you're paying before work begins.
Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?
Yes. All of our engineers hold current Gas Safe registration, which is the legal requirement for anyone working on gas appliances in the UK. You can verify any engineer's credentials before they arrive by visiting gassaferegister.co.uk and entering their registration number.
Do you cover Northfleet, Swanscombe and the Gravesend area?
Yes. We cover the full stretch from Crayford in the west (DA1) to Northfleet and Swanscombe in the east (DA11 and DA10), including Erith, Belvedere, Thamesmead, Slade Green, Abbey Wood and surrounding postcodes. If you're on the edge of our coverage area and not sure, call us on 01474 329154.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing?
Yes. We provide round-the-clock emergency call-outs for burst pipes, boiler breakdowns, severe leaks, flooding and blocked sewage. We aim to arrive within 60 minutes for emergencies in our core Erith and Belvedere area. Response times to Northfleet and Swanscombe may be slightly longer but we always communicate our ETA clearly.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
We charge a standard call-out fee of £60 which covers the engineer's travel and first assessment. This is deducted from the total cost if work proceeds. There are no hidden charges — you'll be told the full cost before any work starts.
Can you install a new boiler the same day?
In most cases, boiler installations are pre-planned jobs that require a free survey first to confirm the right boiler type and specification. However, if you've had a complete boiler failure and need urgent replacement, call us — we'll do our best to prioritise you. We keep stock of common boiler models and can often fit within 24–48 hours of survey.
