FAQ
Emergency Plumbing Questions
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
A plumbing emergency is anything that risks damage to your property, or leaves you without essential services. Common examples include burst pipes and severe leaks you can't stop. No hot water in winter, an overflowing toilet, and a boiler fault that's left you without heating all count too.
How quickly can you reach me?
We aim to respond to emergency emails as fast as possible. Since most jobs are attended the same day, don't wait to get in touch. Response times still depend on our current workload and your location. Email us straight away, and 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 right away. It's usually under the kitchen sink, or where the water pipe enters the property. For gas leaks, evacuate and don't use any switches. 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. Still, we'll confirm the cost before we come out, so there are no surprises.
Are you Gas Safe registered for emergency gas work?
All our engineers are Gas Safe registered. That's 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.
