Emergency Plumber Areas

Common Plumbing Emergencies We Handle

  • Burst pipes – whether from a hard frost or general wear on old pipework
  • Blocked or overflowing drains – inside the property or out
  • No hot water – often a cylinder, immersion heater or boiler fault
  • Leaking radiators and valves – can cause real damage to floors and ceilings if left
  • Dripping or leaking taps – wastes water and tends to get worse, not better, over time

What to Do in a Plumbing Emergency

  • If you can locate it, turn off the stopcock or isolation valve to limit water flow
  • Avoid using the affected tap, drain or appliance until it’s looked at
  • Move valuables and electricals away from any leak
  • Mop up standing water where it’s safe to do so, to limit damage
  • Take a photo of the damage in case you need it for an insurance claim

Frequently Asked Questions – Emergency Plumber

Is there a call-out charge?
There’s no call-out charge for existing customers. For new customers, get in touch and we’ll be upfront about pricing before anything is booked – no hidden costs.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Anything causing ongoing damage or leaving you without an essential service – a burst pipe, a blocked drain that’s backing up, no hot water, or a leak you can’t stop. If in doubt, call us and we’ll advise.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham and the North East?
Yes – see the full list of towns we cover on this page, from Durham and Newcastle out to Teesdale, Teesside and everywhere in between.
Can you fix the problem on the same visit?
In most cases, yes – our engineers carry a wide range of parts and fittings. If a specialist part is needed, we’ll explain that upfront and get it sorted as quickly as possible.
