Burst pipe in a Batignolles flat, a leak through the ceiling in a new eco-district apartment, or a blocked drain off Avenue des Ternes? Call an English-speaking plumber, 24/7 — and we'll send a vetted local pro to your door.
The 17th is two arrondissements in one. On the eastern side you have Batignolles — a genuine Parisian village with its leafy Square des Batignolles, a tight-knit market street feel, and right next door the gleaming new Clichy-Batignolles eco-district around the Martin Luther King park and the towering Tribunal de Paris. On the western side sit the wide, bourgeois Haussmann avenues of Ternes and Pereire. When water starts pouring in either, you don't want to be hunting for the French word for "stopcock".
Emergency Plumber Paris is an English-speaking dispatch line covering the whole 17th arrondissement. You call, you explain the problem in plain English, and we send a vetted independent plumber who works in the area — with the price agreed before anyone picks up a wrench.
What makes the 17th unusual is the sheer split in building stock. Batignolles is a mix of older village buildings with ageing pipes and brand-new flats in the Clichy-Batignolles development — so within a few streets you can go from a tired 1900s installation to a fully connected eco-home. Meanwhile Ternes and Pereire are classic Haussmann blocks: handsome stone façades hiding decades of patched-up pipework, lead and copper runs, and heavy limescale from Paris's hard water. The jobs we're called to most often here include:
Turn off the water at the stopcock (robinet d'arrêt) — usually under the sink or by the meter — then call us. Stopping the flow protects your flat and the neighbours below while the plumber is on the way; we'll prioritise it.
The 17th is large but well served, which works in your favour. Whether you're by the Square des Batignolles and the village market streets, in the new Clichy-Batignolles blocks beside the Martin Luther King park and the Tribunal de Paris, along the bourgeois avenues of Ternes and Pereire, or near the busy edge of Place de Clichy, we dispatch the nearest available pro. Métro lines 2, 3 and 13 — with stations like Rome, Brochant, La Fourche, Ternes and Pereire — plus RER C at Pereire all sit inside our patch, so help reaches you quickly, usually within the hour, day or night.
