Looking for a reliable plumber in Ipswich? Anglian PHE provides everyday plumbing repairs, urgent help and planned plumbing work for homes, landlords and businesses. We deal with leaking or burst pipes, dripping taps, faulty toilets, blocked sinks and drains, shower problems, low water pressure, kitchen and bathroom plumbing, and other common faults. If the problem cannot safely wait, call our emergency line.
Tell Us What’s Happening
Send your postcode and a few details. If the problem is urgent or water is escaping, calling is fastest.
Plumbing Repairs, Maintenance and Planned Work
A plumbing problem does not need a technical label before you call. Maybe a tap will not stop dripping, a toilet keeps running, a pipe joint is wet, a sink will not drain, a shower has lost flow or the water pressure has dropped. Tell us what you have noticed and we can work from there.
Planned work is also available, including replacement pipework, new taps and sinks, kitchen appliance connections, bathroom plumbing, stopcocks, valves and other water-supply work. We also handle leak detection, drainage, boilers, heating, electrical work and commercial plumbing when specialist support is needed.

These are some of the faults we are commonly asked about. If your issue is different, call or message us and describe what is happening.

Give us your postcode and we’ll confirm current availability and a realistic travel estimate. Same-day attendance depends on engineer location, workload, distance, traffic and road conditions.
When the Cause Isn’t Obvious
Some problems need more investigation than a straightforward repair, especially when water loss is hidden or a blockage keeps coming back.
Tracing Unseen Water Loss
If damp, unexplained water loss or moisture is appearing without an obvious source, targeted investigation can help locate the problem.
Blocked Drains & Recurring Problems
When a sink, toilet, waste pipe or drain keeps blocking, the cause may need more than a quick clearance.

Before You Book
Useful answers about bookings, urgent faults, coverage and the wider services available.
What details should I send when I first get in touch?
Send the property postcode, a short description of the fault and, if useful, a photo or short video. That gives us enough information to check coverage and work out the most sensible next step.
When is it better to phone rather than message?
Phone if water is escaping quickly, a pipe has burst, a fixture is overflowing or the problem could cause further damage. WhatsApp is useful for planned work and non-urgent faults.
Can you help with smaller jobs such as taps or toilets?
Yes. Routine jobs such as dripping taps, leaking sinks, running toilets, faulty flushes, shower problems and minor pipe leaks are included in our everyday plumbing repair service.
What if the same blockage keeps coming back?
A recurring blockage may need more than a quick clearance. We can look at the affected waste or drain and advise whether further investigation or repair is needed.
How do you confirm when someone can attend?
Attendance depends on engineer availability, distance and traffic. Share the postcode when you contact us and we can give you the best current estimate for that address.
Can you trace a leak when the source is not visible?
Yes. Leak investigation is available for unexplained damp, water loss or moisture where the source cannot be seen easily.
Can the same team help with heating or electrical work?
Yes. The wider Anglian PHE team also handles boiler servicing and repair, related heating work and NAPIT-registered electrical work.
Can you help with low water pressure or a faulty stopcock?
Yes. Low water pressure can have several causes, so we start by checking the water supply, accessible pipework and valves. We can also investigate seized, leaking or faulty stopcocks and related fittings.
Do you provide kitchen plumbing and appliance connections?
Yes. Kitchen plumbing can include sinks, taps, dishwasher and washing-machine connections, waste pipes and alterations to existing water-supply pipework.
Do you provide plumbing maintenance for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We provide plumbing repairs, maintenance and planned work for landlords, rental properties and suitable commercial premises across the Ipswich service area.
Which parts of the Ipswich area do you cover?
Coverage includes Ipswich and nearby areas such as Stoke Park, Chantry, Kesgrave, Rushmere St Andrew, Pinewood and Whitton, subject to current engineer availability. Send the property postcode to confirm coverage.
