Who We Are

Fulham's Neighbourhood Plumbers

C. Anderson and Sons LLP are a long-established, family-run plumbing and heating company who have been based at the same site in Fulham for over 30 years. Our office, showroom and plumbing shop is at 25–27 Filmer Road, SW6 7BP.

We take pride in delivering a great service across all types of plumbing, gas, heating, bathroom and boiler work, as well as a full range of property maintenance trades, all with the same professional care and expertise.

Our plumbers and engineers cover the whole of Greater London. Even if it’s just advice you’re after, we’re always happy to help; we’re very friendly like that.

Our History

60 Years In The Making

Crawford Anderson Senior started in the plumbing industry in 1965, working as a plumber’s mate in Bangor, County Down. He went on to build one of South West London’s most respected heating and plumbing businesses: a story of craft, resilience, and family.

Today, his sons Crawford Junior and William carry that legacy forward, with the same commitment to quality and the same friendly, family approach that has seen the business through four recessions and a global pandemic.

In Crawford's Own Words

"Plumbing is a great trade to have; once qualified, nobody can take it away from you."

Crawford Anderson Senior, Founder

One of my earliest memories as an apprentice was working with one of the old-school plumbers who would ask me for a tool just once. After that he expected me to know exactly what he wanted at any given moment; a tough but brilliant way to ensure you paid absolute attention.

I believe apprentices are the lifeblood of the industry. Over the 30-plus years we’ve been based in Filmer Road, Anderson & Sons have led the way in developing and training apprentices in plumbing and heating. Fifty years from now, I’d like to see the company continuing that professional service; still family-run, still helping London with their plumbing and heating needs, and helping the environment with green energy.

Beginnings In Northern Ireland

Crawford Senior began as a plumber’s mate aged 15 in Bangor, County Down, earning £1 and 10 shillings a week. By 16 he was a full apprentice, attending colleges across Belfast and mastering the trade from lead-to-copper joints to solid-fuel back boilers.
Late 1970s–80s

Moving To London & Expanding

Crawford brought his expertise to London as combi boilers began to transform the industry, replacing storage tanks and mains-converting households across the capital. Anderson & Sons established themselves as the go-to plumber in Fulham.
1982

Institute Of Plumbing Membership

Crawford Senior became an associated member of the Institute of Plumbing, a recognition of his expertise and commitment to professional standards that he has maintained ever since.
1990s

30+ Years At Filmer Road

The company established its permanent home at 25–27 Filmer Road, SW6, the office, showroom and plumbing shop that remains the heart of the business today. Gas Safe registration (formerly Corgi, one of the first to join) and APHC membership followed.
1999–Present

The Next Generation Steps In

Crawford Anderson Junior joined in 1999 and now plays an active role in the day-to-day running of the company. William Anderson has more recently joined to help deliver the company’s high level of customer service and care, keeping Anderson & Sons a true family business.
2020

Trading Through The Pandemic

As an essential service, Anderson & Sons remained operational through the COVID-19 lockdowns, completing urgent and essential jobs. It was the fourth major economic challenge the company had navigated, following recessions in the 1970s, 80s, and 2008.

Our Credentials

Our engineers are clean, considerate and professional, qualities that are trained into every member of the team. If any aspect of the work falls short of your expectations, we simply ask to be told and one of our experienced managers will visit to put it right.

We complete most of our work inside customers’ homes, so trust and professionalism aren’t optional extras; they’re at the core of everything we do. Unlike many competitors, all our engineers work directly for us, not as contractors.

"Why Us? Because We Care."

Our Company Motto

In The Community

Giving Back Beyond The Pipe

We believe a good business has responsibilities beyond its immediate customers.

Anderson & Sons uses our plumbing expertise and community relationships to help those less fortunate, whether locally or on the other side of the world.

In 2012, Crawford led a team of Anderson engineers to Tajikistan to work alongside Habitat for Humanity. Tajikistan is Central Asia’s poorest country, where only half the population had access to clean drinking water. In under two weeks, the team installed over 20 water filters in schools across the region.

We’d like to thank everyone who supported that project, and we look forward to working with Habitat for Humanity again, because there is still so much more to be done.
