Worth knowing first
Some of this may save you a callout entirely. We would rather tell you than not.
Water is pouring in
Turn off the stopcock. In most London homes it is under the kitchen sink, in a downstairs cupboard, or near the front door in a flat. Turn it clockwise until it stops. Then open the cold taps to drain the pipes. This is the single thing that most limits the damage.
Water is coming through a ceiling
Do not stand under a bulging ceiling and do not touch light fittings in the room. If water is anywhere near electrics, turn the power off at the consumer unit and leave it off. Then call.
You cannot find the leak
Turn the stopcock off and watch the water meter if you have one. If it keeps ticking, the leak is before the stopcock and is likely the water company’s responsibility rather than yours. Tell us that when you call and it saves everyone a trip.
No water at all
Check whether the neighbours have water before calling us. If the whole street is out it is a mains problem for Thames Water, not something a plumber can fix, and we will say so rather than charge you for a visit.
Common questions
Do you really answer at night?
Emergency callout is available 24/7. The office is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 17:30, and outside those hours the booking line goes to whoever is on call.
What counts as an emergency?
Anything where water is actively causing damage, or where you have no water or no heating and cannot wait. A dripping tap is not an emergency, and we would rather book that in normally than charge you emergency rates for it.
How much does an emergency callout cost?
We give you a price before an engineer starts work, including out of hours. What we will not do is start the job and tell you the cost afterwards.
Should I call or use the form?
For an emergency, call. The form is checked during office hours and is better suited to quotes and non-urgent work.
