Why local matters here
Barnet is a borough on a hill, and the hill decides the plumbing. Chipping Barnet’s High Street is 427 feet above sea level, Totteridge and Mill Hill sit on ridges of their own, and the mains pressure at the top is not the pressure in the Dollis valley at Whetstone or down at Hendon. The Victorian terraces that followed the 1872 railway to High Barnet and New Barnet, the interwar semis of Whetstone, Friern Barnet and Finchley, the large houses of Totteridge, Arkley and Hampstead Garden Suburb with their plant rooms and long pipe runs, and the new flats at Colindale and Brent Cross each have a different stopcock, a different pipe and a different fault.
Vantage Plumbing and Heating covers Barnet from Stevenage, straight down the A1. We are Gas Safe registered under 956889, our vans carry the fittings that solve most call outs on the first visit, and if water is coming through the ceiling right now, ring us and we will talk you to the stopcock while an engineer is already on the road.

What Barnet water does to your plumbing
Barnet is the one borough we work in where the water company changes street by street. Affinity Water supplies the north and publishes a figure for each zone: Cockfosters, New Barnet and Whetstone about 271 mg/l calcium carbonate, Finchley about 275 mg/l, High Barnet, Arkley and Totteridge about 295 mg/l, Edgware about 310 mg/l and Mill Hill about 352 mg/l. Thames Water supplies the south: Hendon and Golders Green about 269 mg/l, and Hadley Wood, in Thames Water’s Oakwood zone, about 267 mg/l.
Those are the two companies’ own published zone figures, not readings from your tap. On Affinity’s scale anything over 300 is very hard, which puts Mill Hill and Edgware in that class and the rest of the borough in the hard class, an 85 mg/l spread inside one borough. A combi in Mill Hill scales years before the same boiler in Hendon, and we fit a scale reducer on the main with every boiler in the borough for that reason.

Frequently asked questions
Do you give fixed prices?
A straightforward boiler swap starts from £2,850. Everything else is quoted before we start, because the jobs vary too much for a price list to be an honest one.
Are you actually available at night?
Yes, genuinely, 365 days a year. A person answers the phone rather than an answerphone you hear back from in the morning.
Do you cover all of Barnet?
Yes, from Hadley Wood and Arkley down to Hendon and Golders Green, and from Edgware across to East Barnet: EN4, EN5, N2, N3, N11, N12, N20, NW4, NW7, NW11 and HA8.
Are you Gas Safe registered?
Yes, registration 956889. You are entitled to ask any engineer for their card before they touch a gas appliance, and you should.
Do you have a heating engineer covering Barnet?
Yes. Every engineer is Gas Safe registered under the company registration 956889, so a heating engineer in Barnet is the same call as a plumber. Boiler service, boiler repairs, cylinders and radiators are all covered.
Is there an emergency plumber in Barnet at night?
Yes, 365 days a year, from Hadley Wood down to Hendon. A person answers, talks you to the stopcock and gives you a price on the phone while the van is on its way.
