Emergency plumber in Oldham — 24 hours a day
This is where we're based — 15 Avon Street, Oldham, OL8 1XN. If you're calling from Oldham you're calling the plumber's actual home patch, not a call centre routing you to whoever's nearest. Leaks, burst pipes and blocked drains, day or night.
Based in Oldham, covering Oldham
Oldham is home. There's no travel time to quote because we start from here — most jobs across the borough are reached within a short run of the yard on Avon Street. We still cover roughly 30 miles beyond Oldham, but this is the town we know best.
Oldham's housing stock is a real mix of eras packed close together — dense Victorian terraces around the town centre and Glodwick, mill-conversion flats, inter-war semis further out towards Waterhead and Lees, and newer estates on the fringes towards Chadderton and Royton. Each era brings different plumbing quirks, and we've seen most of them.
The older terraced streets often still run on a mix of original clay drainage and patched-in plastic, which means blockages and slow drains are a regular call, especially after heavy rain finds the weak points in a shared run. Cold weather is unkind to the exposed pipework in older lofts and cellars too, so burst pipes are a familiar winter job here.
There's also a good number of rented terraces and flats above shops in the town centre, so we do a fair amount of landlord and letting agent work — tenant-reported leaks, blocked toilets and general repairs that need sorting quickly and reported back properly.

Shower valves and mixer taps in older bathrooms wearing out or leaking behind the wall. Fixed properly rather than patched.Read more →Landlord and rental maintenance
A lot of rented terraces and flats above shops in the town centre. We attend tenant call-outs and keep landlords properly informed.Read more →
