Urgent burst-pipe repair
A burst pipe needs the water controlled before the damage spreads
A split pipe can release a large amount of water very quickly. If you know where the main stopcock is and can reach it safely, turn off the water supply and keep clear of electrical equipment.
Call with the location of the burst, whether the water has been isolated and which rooms are affected. Emergency plumbing and heating callouts are available 24 hours, subject to engineer availability.
Frozen-pipe damage
Cold weather can expose weak pipework or cause vulnerable sections to split.
- Pipe frozen or recently thawed
- Outdoor or loft pipework
- Sudden leak after cold weather
- Cracked exposed pipe
Major joint failure
A failed fitting can cause a sudden high-volume leak even when the pipe itself has not split.
- Joint separates
- Valve connection fails
- Flexible connector rupture
- Water escapes under pressure
Water-damage control
Stopping the flow is the first priority before the damaged section can be assessed.
- Main stopcock isolation
- Local valve isolation
- Protect nearby electrics
- Identify damaged section
Our repair process
Clear diagnosis before work begins
We avoid treating every symptom as the same repair. The affected outlet, fitting, valve or section of pipework is checked so the cause can be identified before parts are changed.

2
Inspect the source. The plumber checks the visible fault and any connected components that may be contributing.
