When to Call an Emergency Plumber
Some plumbing problems can wait until normal working hours — others can’t. You should call our emergency plumbing team if:
-
Water is pouring from a pipe, ceiling or tank
-
You’ve lost your water supply and suspect an internal leak
-
A toilet is overflowing and won’t stop
-
A major leak is close to electrics or the consumer unit
-
Multiple drains or toilets are backing up into the property
If you’re not sure how serious it is, give us a call. We’ll offer clear, honest advice and confirm whether an emergency visit is needed.

How Our 24/7 Emergency Plumbing Response Works
We keep things straightforward:
-
Call our team – we’ll ask a few quick questions to understand what’s happening and talk you through any immediate safety steps (such as isolating the stop tap).
-
Engineer dispatched – we’ll send a suitably qualified engineer to your property as quickly as possible.
-
Make safe and repair – we focus first on stopping the leak and protecting the property, then complete a permanent repair where feasible.
-
Clear explanation and options – we’ll explain what we’ve done, what caused the issue, and any recommended next steps.
Our aim is to minimise disruption, keep you updated, and leave the property safe and watertight.
