Plumber in Berlin – plumbing and heating at a fixed price

A radiator that gurgles or only warms at the bottom usually has air in it. Bleeding it takes minutes but is often only half the fix: many Berlin Altbau flats have their own gas boiler on the wall (Gasetagenheizung), and bleeding lowers its pressure. So afterwards we check the gauge and tell you whether water needs topping up.

If a radiator stays cold while the heating runs, the pin under the thermostatic head is often stuck. A new head doesn’t touch the heating water; a new valve body may mean draining some – we clarify that first and include it in the price.

With central heating, the system itself is the job of the property management (Hausverwaltung). If none of your radiators get warm, call them first – it often affects the whole building.

Work on gas appliances – the boiler, a gas cooker, gas pipes – belongs with a firm registered for gas work. If your boiler has a fault, we assess case by case what we can handle on the heating side and tell you openly when you need a registered gas firm, before any cost arises.

We clear blockages inside your flat up to the building’s pipes. A blockage further down the shared stack or main drain usually affects several flats and is a job for the Hausverwaltung and a drain-cleaning firm. A full bathroom refit is a planned project we run with our renovation team – with a viewing, a written quote and a fixed schedule.

First close the isolation valve under the basin or behind the toilet. If that doesn’t stop it, close your flat’s main stopcock – usually in the bathroom, kitchen or by the water meter. If sockets or appliances are wet, switch off that fuse.

If you rent, tell your landlord or Hausverwaltung at once and photograph the damage. Then call us: our phone is answered 24/7, and we tell you how soon someone can be there.

The price is fixed before work starts. A photo of the tap, cistern or radiator valve is often enough for us to identify the part and give you a written fixed price. Travel within Berlin is included. Materials are charged at purchase price plus a customary margin and itemised in the quote.

If more is needed on site – say a seized isolation valve – we stop and agree it with you first. Anything done without your approval is not billed. The invoice shows labour separately, so you can claim it on your German tax return.

We usually reply to enquiries within one working day, and appointments are often available as soon as the next working day. Our office at Landhausstraße 31 in Wilmersdorf is staffed Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm. If water is escaping and you can’t shut it off, our phone is answered 24/7; we tell you how soon someone can be there.

We work in all twelve Berlin districts on the same fixed-price principle.
