IMMEDIATE ACTION

Three steps to contain the leak right now.

Turn off your main internal stopcock, open the lowest cold tap to relieve pipe pressure, and isolate nearby electrics. Our team will guide you through immediate safety steps over the phone.

Turn off the water

Find your stopcock and turn it clockwise. It's most often under the kitchen sink, in a downstairs cupboard, hallway, utility area or near where the mains water enters the property.

Make electrics safe

If water is near sockets, lights or appliances, switch off the affected circuit at the consumer unit — only if it is safe to do so.

Call us

Use towels or buckets to contain the water, then call 020 8051 2124. We answer 24/7 and will advise you on the safest next step.

EMERGENCIES WE COVER

Burst pipes, active leaks & stopcock failures.

From high-pressure pipe splits and leaking ceiling valves to blocked waste overflows and failed stopcocks, our local plumbers arrive equipped to isolate the hazard and complete a lasting repair.

Emergency Boiler Repair

Fast dispatch for sudden breakdowns, complete loss of heat or frozen pipes.

Overflowing or leaking toilets

Contained and made safe first, then repaired properly rather than patched.

Stopcock & valve failures

Stiff, seized or failed stopcocks and faulty isolation valves, so you can shut the water off next time.

Urgent pipework issues

Water coming through ceilings, loss of water and pipework failures inside the property.

EMERGENCY PLUMBING GUIDANCE
