Emergency plumbing in Colchester
The older streets of Colchester, around the town centre and Lexden Road, often have lead or iron supply pipes and pipework that has been added to over the decades. The newer estates, and the homes built on the old Garrison land, mostly use plastic push-fit pipework, where leaks usually start at a fitting under a sink or behind an appliance.
Because Colchester is further from our base than Sudbury or Haverhill, we will always be honest about how quickly we can get to you. While we are on the way, we will talk you through turning off the water and keeping the damage down.

How a visit works
When you call, we will talk you through making things safe first: turning off the water at the stop tap, switching off the electrics if water is near them, and draining the system if needed. Then we get an engineer to you as quickly as we can. On arrival we stop the leak, carry out a safe repair and tell you if any follow-up work is needed. We do not charge a call-out fee.
