Typical Streatham property types we work in
The plumbing and heating quirks of a property usually come down to its age and build. Here's what we encounter across Streatham:
- Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Streatham Hill and Streatham Common — many converted into flats, with older service pipework and some original lead or ageing galvanised mains still encountered in the terrace stock[1][2]
- 1930s suburban semis and short terraces in SW16 around Streatham Common and Norbury edges — usually larger family houses with combination boiler retrofits or later system-boiler upgrades[1][2]
- Purpose-built mansion blocks and pre-war flats near Streatham Hill station and the High Road — commonly lower water pressure and, in some blocks, communal cold-water storage or boosted supplies[1][3]
- Post-war council and estate housing around Streatham Vale and parts of Furzedown-adjacent SW16 — mixed pipework ages, often upgraded internally but with legacy lead supply runs in older homes[1][2]
- Recent apartment schemes and new-build houses in the Streatham town-centre / Streatham Hill corridor — typically mains-fed, with modern pressurised hot-water systems or communal heating in larger developments[1][2]
Water supply in Streatham
Supplier: Thames Water supplies most of Streatham (SW16); London water hardness in the Thames Water area is generally hard to very hard, commonly around 250-300 mg/L as CaCO3 (about 14-17 °dH), which is the scale range most relevant for SW16 properties.
Streatham’s hard London water means limescale is a recurring issue on boiler heat exchangers, shower cartridges and immersion elements, especially in older combi and system-boiler installations. Older SW16 housing also still commonly has lead communication pipes or internal lead remnants in pre-war stock, so pipe replacement and a lead-sampling check are often relevant in terrace and flat conversions.
Heating systems in Streatham
Most Streatham homes use gas heating, with combi boilers very common in smaller flats and converted terraces, while larger semis and family houses more often have system boilers with a hot-water cylinder. New-build schemes in the Streatham area are more likely to use sealed pressurised systems or communal heating, and many existing boilers are mid-life replacements rather than brand-new installs in the older housing stock.
Common plumbing issues in Streatham
- Low water pressure in mansion-block and converted-flat stock near Streatham Hill / Streatham station, especially where upstairs flats rely on old boosted or gravity-fed arrangements
- Limescale damage to boiler plate heat exchangers, shower cartridges and unvented cylinder components because of hard Thames Water supply
- Lead service pipes or lead internal runs in older Victorian and Edwardian terraces and conversions, particularly where the property has never had a full incoming-main replacement
- Slow drains and recurring blockages in older terraced conversions where original narrow waste runs or poorly altered stacks were retained during flat conversions
- Frozen or sluggish condensate pipework on north-facing external walls in older boiler retrofits, especially where modern boilers were added to older terraces without insulated routing
