Urgent plumbing help when water cannot wait
A plumbing emergency is usually a problem that is actively damaging the property, stopping the water supply, creating a hygiene risk or making normal use of the property difficult. Burst pipes, major leaks, failed valves and sudden loss of water are common reasons people need an emergency plumber.
When you call, tell us your postcode, what is happening, whether water is still flowing and what you have already tried. We can then confirm current engineer availability and advise on the safest next step while you wait.
Call 07825 348536. We provide 24/7 emergency support, but individual arrival times are estimates and depend on engineer availability, your postcode, traffic, distance and travel conditions.

From emergency report to a safe next step

Water escaping, no water, or a serious plumbing fault?
Call 07825 348536 for current emergency availability. If safe, isolate the water supply before the engineer arrives. Do not touch electrical fittings that are wet or close to the leak.
Simple steps that can limit water damage
Only do what is safe and accessible. If you are unsure, call first and we can talk through the situation.
🚰 Turn off the stopcock
If water is actively escaping and the internal stopcock is safe to reach, turn it clockwise to isolate the incoming water supply.
⚡ Keep clear of electrics
If water is near sockets, lights, a consumer unit or electrical appliances, keep away from the affected area. Do not touch wet electrical fittings.
🪣 Contain what you safely can
Use towels, buckets or containers to reduce spread where practical, and move valuables away from the leak without putting yourself at risk.
📷 Take useful photos
Photos of the leak, damaged pipework, stopcock or affected area can help us understand the problem before attendance.
🏢 Tell us the property type
Let us know whether the emergency is at a home, rental property, shop, office or other premises so we can understand access and urgency.
📍 Have the postcode ready
Your postcode is essential for checking the nearest available engineer and giving a realistic estimate for attendance.
Private supply pipe, public water main or ?
The correct next step depends on where the problem is located. We can help you work out which type of service is appropriate.
Leak on the private supply to your property
If the leak is on private pipework serving the property, a plumber may be able to investigate and repair it. Responsibility can depend on the exact location of the pipe and property boundary.
