Trusted Local Experts

Collier Row is a mostly residential area on the northern side of Romford, and we cover it as part of our regular work from our Romford base. It has no railway station of its own, so the local centre is built around the shops on Collier Row Road and Clockhouse Lane rather than a high street by a station. We handle bathroom installations, boiler servicing and repairs, and general plumbing work for homes throughout the area.

Plumbing & Heating in Collier Row Homes

Collier Row was farmland and woodland at the edge of what had been Hainault Forest until Romford's suburbs reached it in the 1930s, when most of the semis and bungalows that make up the area today were built. Unlike Gidea Park or Hornchurch, there's no railway station here, so the local shops sit along Collier Row Road and Clockhouse Lane rather than around a station.

As with other 1930s streets in Havering, it's common to find original lead or galvanised supply pipes in unmodernised houses, along with a cold water tank in the loft feeding an older gravity hot water cylinder. Bungalows are common in Collier Row too, and their single-storey layout can make pipe runs and cylinder positioning a bit different to work around than in a two-storey semi.

Limescale from Essex's hard water is as much an issue here as anywhere in the borough, showing up as scale on shower heads, tap aerators, and inside boiler heat exchangers over time.

"From phoning Dan he arrived within 15 minutes of my call as was in the area. He had a good look at the problem and was able to tell me what he would do to remedy the situation. He came round next morning and even though there was a considerable amount of earth to be dug out and some obstacles under the floorboards he was able to complete the job in a day and get the earth backfilled. So pleased with the outcome. Dan would be my first person to go to for any water related , or gas and boiler related problem. Cannot praise him enough."

Collier Row Plumbing FAQs

Clear answers to your most common plumbing concerns.

Are bungalows in Collier Row harder to plumb than a semi?
Not harder, just laid out differently. On a single-storey bungalow, the hot water cylinder and any loft tank are closer to ground level, and pipe runs to the kitchen or bathroom are usually shorter. It does mean less space to route new pipework invisibly, so bathroom or kitchen refits sometimes need a bit more thought about where pipes and the boiler flue can go.
What are the signs of old galvanised pipework in a Collier Row semi?
Discoloured or rusty-looking water, especially after the supply hasn't been used for a while, reduced flow at taps, and visible corrosion where pipework is exposed in a cellar, loft or under the kitchen sink are the usual signs. Many 1930s Collier Row houses still have some galvanised steel pipe in place, and we can assess how much needs replacing.
Can you install an outside tap for the garden in Collier Row?
Yes, this is a straightforward job on most Collier Row properties, where gardens tend to be a decent size. We take the supply off the rising main with the right backflow protection under the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations, and fit an isolation valve so the outside tap can be drained down for winter.
Why does my boiler keep losing pressure in Collier Row?
A gradual drop in pressure usually points to a small leak somewhere in the system, or occasionally a fault with the expansion vessel or filling loop. It's worth getting it checked rather than repeatedly topping up the pressure yourself, since a hidden leak can cause damage over time. We can trace the cause and fix it rather than just resetting the pressure.
