About Ivy Chimneys
Established residential area south-west of Epping with predominantly post-war housing.
Inter-war semis and 1930s detached homes dominate, with newer infill closer to the station and conservation-sensitive areas near the forest.
- Original fireplace back boilers still in many 1930s homes
- Tree protection orders can affect external pipe and flue routing
- Older systems with cast-iron radiators need careful flushing

Common questions about plumbing in Ivy Chimneys
How quickly can you actually get out?▾
For genuine emergencies in Ivy Chimneys — no heat, no hot water, an active leak — we aim for same-day. We'll tell you straight when we call back if a faster response isn't possible.
Do you charge an emergency callout fee?▾
We charge a clear diagnostic fee, told to you upfront before we set off. The repair itself is then quoted as a fixed price you agree before any work starts.
Are you 24/7?▾
We aren't a true 24-hour service — we're a small family business — but we pick up early and stay late, and we prioritise vulnerable households and no-heat situations through the day.
Can you find a hidden leak?▾
Usually yes — we use thermal imaging and pressure testing to trace leaks behind walls and under floors before we cut anything open.
How fast can you respond to a burst pipe?▾
We aim for same-day. Call us first — we can talk you through stopping the water immediately while we head over.
