FAQ
Emergency Plumbing Questions
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
A plumbing emergency is anything that risks damage to your property or is leaving you without essential services. Common examples include burst pipes, severe leaks you can't stop, no hot water during winter, an overflowing toilet, or a boiler fault that's left you without heating.
How quickly can you reach me?
We aim to respond to emergency emails as fast as possible and, in most cases, attend the same day. Response times depend on our current workload and your location. Email us straight away — include your postcode and a brief description of the problem.
What should I do while I wait for a plumber?
If you have a major leak, turn off your mains stop tap immediately — it's usually under the kitchen sink or where the water pipe enters the property. For gas leaks, evacuate, don't use switches, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 before calling us.
Do you charge more for emergency call-outs?
We'll be upfront about pricing before we attend. Emergency call-outs may carry a higher rate than planned work, but we'll confirm the cost before we come out so there are no surprises.
Are you Gas Safe registered for emergency gas work?
Yes. All our engineers are Gas Safe registered, which is the legal requirement for gas appliance work in the UK. If your emergency involves the boiler or any gas appliance, we're fully qualified to deal with it.
