We are on Tyrrell Road, close to Barry Road. Tried to turn on the tap just now, but nothing came out.


Anyone else with this and anyone with any idea what I ought to be doing if it carries on.


I am assuming its a burst watermain or something I suppose.


Thank you!

There was water gushing out again on LL this morning 7.45am (S of Barry Road junction). Bit of a major brook coming out from various points under pavement. You could almost imagine you were in the middle of Wales somewhere if not for the trucks thundering by.


May be connected, may not.


The bus stop continues shut with all the rest of the water works along this stretch. East Dulwich: A River Runs Through It.

If I'd phoned the water 'company' (calling them a company infers some sort of competence) I'd have been put through to a robot which would ask me to enter my postcode, it would misunderstand the first time, eventually I'd get a message saying no recorded works in the area. Then I'd have to phone back and be put on hold for ages before speaking to a human who would similarly know nothing of the situation even though quite clearly there's low water pressure in my taps and I'd like to know if the water's going off at any time today.

Louisiana's supplied all the info I need without the waste of time and money involved in phoning Thames. Thankyou.

And why do they charge you for phoning to report a leak etc, seems really cheeky.

Just noticed that my water supply is suddenly very low on pressure, so there's almost none coming out. Does anyone know if there's work going on in the vicinity of Ulverscroft/North Cross Rds?


Thought I'd check and give it an hour or two before phoning Thames Water.

I don't know if the works being carried out Thames Water on Dunstans Road have anything to do with it but they started work this week and will continue throughout Feb. Residents have been advised drinking water could be cut off for some periods although promised to let us know when.

    • Thank you for the feedback! Helps to see we're not alone. The only good experience we had was Modern House. Anyone tried Strike/Purple Bricks/Yopa? How did it go? Anything to be mindful of?
    • Best experience we had was with Modern House. The rest of the agents around the area are appalling.... They just want their commission and not interested in getting a good deal. You'd be lucky if they pick up the phone...
    • I’d like to echo the positive comments about Trelco. I discovered that the stopcock on the rising main was leaking and was damaging the flooring in the utility room. Not having seen this thread, or any reviews for that matter,  I picked Trelco  as it was the nearest to me. It was a gamble but goodness it paid off. James was responsive and clear in what he offered. His colleague Andy replaced the offending stopcock and put in a lever valve to allow me to shut off the water easily when I go away. He did a great job, neat and tidy, he was cheerful, friendly and professional. All this within a day of contacting them. Although not an emergency it needed resolution quickly. The price charged was very reasonable indeed, especially considering the quality of the service. I am so pleased to have found such an excellent plumber.
