Emergency Plumbing Questions

How quickly can you attend?

Call with your postcode and a description of the problem. We will confirm our current availability and discuss attendance. Timing depends on your location, our workload and the nature of the fault.

What should I do if a pipe has burst?

If it is safe to reach, turn off the internal stop tap to help limit a supply pipe leak. Keep clear of water near electrics and call for help. Do not touch wet electrical equipment.

Can you investigate water coming through a ceiling?

Yes. We investigate plumbing leaks above ceilings and explain the access and repair needed. An opening may be necessary to reach concealed pipework. Ceiling repairs and decoration should be agreed separately.

Do you deal with leaking or faulty toilets?

Yes. We repair toilet leaks, flushing faults and cistern problems. If the toilet is blocked or water escapes when it is used, describe what happens when you call.

Can a burst pipe be repaired during the first visit?

Some can, once the fault is accessible and suitable parts are available. Other jobs need further access, parts or additional work. We will explain what is required after assessing the problem.

How much does an emergency plumber cost?

The cost depends on the fault, access, time and parts needed. Call with the details so we can discuss the visit and costs before work proceeds.
