Confirm the visit before relying on it

Availability depends on the location, timing and work required. An online message does not reserve an emergency appointment. Ask about attendance, callout charges and what the visit covers when speaking to us.

Follow-up repairs

Some urgent visits may require further work or parts. The engineer can explain what is needed and how any follow-up repair would be arranged. Keep records of the agreed work and quotation.

Questions about emergency plumbing

Do you offer 24-hour cover?

Call us to check. We only promise a visit once we’ve confirmed an engineer can attend.

What can I do while I wait?

If it’s safe to do so, turn off your stop tap — it’s often under the kitchen sink or where the water pipe enters the property. If water is near electrical fittings, don’t touch them.

Can I use the online form for an emergency?

Please call instead. An online message doesn’t reserve an emergency appointment.
