When water will not wait
A plumbing emergency is stressful enough. We keep it simple: stop the water, find the cause, tell you the price, fix it.
Stopping the Water
The first thing we do, before anything else.
On the phone we help you close the main valve. On arrival we isolate the leak so the rest of your home has water again as soon as possible.
- Help over the phone
- Leak isolated
- Water restored where possible
- Damage limited
Finding and Fixing the Cause
Burst pipe, failed hose, broken valve.
Most emergencies are a single failed part — a hose, a joint, a valve. We carry the common ones so the repair is usually done on the spot. If it needs a part or a second visit, we leave everything safe and agree the next step with you.
- Diagnosis on site
- Common parts on board
- Price before repair
- Tested before we leave
Paperwork for Landlords and Insurers
A written account of what happened.
If you rent, or if the water reached a neighbour, you will need to explain what happened. We give you a written description of the fault and the repair, with photos.
- Written description
- Photos
- Plain language
