What We Cover
Burst Pipes & Water Leaks
Emergency water isolation, source tracing and same-day pipe repair. We carry common copper fittings, push-fit supplies and temporary repair kits on every van.
Gas Leaks (Safe Procedure)
If you smell gas, call the National Gas Emergency line (0800 111 999) first. We can carry out the follow-up safety check and reinstatement work once the property is safe.
Boiler Breakdowns
No heating or hot water in winter is an emergency. Our Gas Safe engineers carry parts for Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal, Baxi and Glow-Worm on most call-outs.
Severe Blocked Drains
A drain that won't clear and is backing up into the property is an emergency. We carry jetting equipment and drain rods to clear blockages on the same visit.
Water Supply Isolation
If your stopcock is seized or missing, we can isolate the supply at the meter or water company boundary to stop flooding while we source a repair.
Flooding & Water Damage
Active flooding from an internal source needs an emergency plumber, not a builder. We stop the water first, then advise on drying out and next steps.
Pricing Guide
Our pricing is transparent. We quote before we start, and the call-out fee is waived when the job runs over 2 hours — so most genuine emergencies carry no attendance charge at all.

How It Works
Call us any time
Phone answered 24/7 — not a call centre. The person who answers dispatches the nearest available engineer directly.
Engineer dispatched
We'll confirm the estimated arrival time. Most London boroughs: 30–60 minutes. We update you if there's any delay.
Assessment on arrival
The engineer assesses the situation, confirms what the work involves and gives you a fixed price before starting.
Fix and written report
Work completed, tested and signed off. You receive a written job report — essential for insurance claims and landlord records.
When Is a Plumbing Problem a Genuine Emergency?
Not every plumbing problem needs a 2am call-out — but some genuinely cannot wait until morning. The clearest signals: active flooding that you cannot stop at a stopcock, no heating in temperatures below 5°C with vulnerable residents, a drain backing up into the property (health risk), or a suspected gas leak (call 0800 111 999 first in that case).
A dripping tap, a slow drain or a boiler that's behaving oddly can usually wait until the next working day. Getting a same-day urgent slot (not necessarily 24-hour emergency rate) is usually possible for these. Where it gets tricky is mid-tier issues: a toilet that won't flush with only one bathroom in the house, a leak that's dripping through a ceiling but isn't currently flooding. Those are judgment calls — call us and we'll tell you honestly whether it needs an engineer tonight or tomorrow morning.
If you do call us out of hours, the same guarantee applies: we'll give you a fixed price before starting. The only difference from a daytime call-out is the labour rate — unsocial hours work costs more because engineers are available around the clock regardless of when you need them.
