Mike came out within an hour on a Sunday for a burst pipe. Fixed it, cleaned up, fair price. Saved my floors. Won't use anyone else.

Replaced our combi boiler. Quote was honest, work was tidy, no hidden extras. Mike walks you through everything before he starts.

Full bathroom refit. Three weeks, no surprises. We checked four other quotes and Foster was the clearest and the most reasonable.

Who you're calling

Hi, I'm Mike. I've been plumbing in Hackney since 2011.

I started Foster Plumbing & Heating because I kept seeing the same thing: good people paying over the odds for rushed work, padded invoices, and trades who couldn't be bothered to clean up after themselves.

When you call this number, you get me, not a call centre. Fixed prices before any work starts. If we can't help, I'll tell you who can.

Common questions

What customers ask before they book.

Do you charge a call-out fee? +
No. Coming out and looking at the job is free. You only pay if you want us to do the work. We'll always tell you the price in writing before we start.
How quickly can you get to me? +
Same-day for most jobs in Hackney and the surrounding areas. Often within the hour for emergencies. If we genuinely can't get to you, we'll tell you up front rather than leaving you waiting.
Are you Gas Safe registered? +
Yes, registered number 614237. Anything with gas, you'll only get a Gas Safe engineer near it. We don't sub the gas work out to anyone unqualified.
Do you give written quotes? +
Always. For anything over a basic call-out, you get a written quote before any work happens. The price you agree is the price you pay.

Got a leak? Don't wait. Call now.

Mon to Sun, 7am to 10pm. Emergency call-outs 24 hours. No call-out fee, ever.
