Emergency plumber in Middleton — 24 hours a day
Independent emergency plumber based in Oldham, covering Middleton and the surrounding areas of North Manchester. Straightforward help with leaks, burst pipes and blocked drains, handled by the plumber who turns up.
Based in Oldham, covering Middleton
Middleton is around six or seven miles from our Oldham base, generally a quick run across via Chadderton or Royton. We are not based in Middleton itself and won't claim to be — every job means us travelling out from Oldham, but the distance is short enough that we cover the town regularly.
Middleton's housing stock is a real mix — older terraces and townhouses around the centre and Boarshaw, inter-war semis spreading out through Alkrington and Hopwood, and larger post-war and more recent estates towards Langley and Manor Park. Each type throws up different plumbing problems, from old lead and iron supply pipes in the older streets to failed plastic fittings in the newer builds.
Langley in particular has a lot of council-built and ex-council stock from the mid-20th century, which often means original bathroom pipework that has never been touched, plus shared drainage runs that can back up if one property has an issue. Older terraces nearer the town centre tend to have below-ground clay drainage that has had decades to move, crack or fill with roots.
There is also a significant private rented sector across Middleton, particularly in the flats and older terraces, which brings a steady stream of tenant-reported leaks, dripping taps and blocked toilets that need sorting quickly and reporting back accurately to the landlord.

What Middleton customers ring us about
This varies genuinely from place to place — it follows the housing stock more than anything else.
Burst pipes and sudden leaks
Older supply pipework in the terraces around the centre fails without much warning. We isolate the water fast and repair the actual break rather than a quick patch.Read more →Blocked toilets and drains
Common on the older clay drainage runs near the town centre and on shared systems in Langley's estate housing. Cleared and checked properly, not just poked through.Read more →Under-sink and kitchen leaks
A frequent call in semis and terraces alike — a failed waste trap or a washing machine connection slowly soaking a kitchen cupboard before anyone notices.Read more →Shower and bathroom repairs
Original bathroom fittings in older council-built stock in Langley and Alkrington often need attention — mixer valves, shower units and seals that have simply worn out.Read more →Landlord and rental maintenance
A sizeable rented sector across Middleton's flats and terraces. We attend reported issues promptly and give landlords and agents a clear picture of what was found.Read more →
