What should I do whilst I wait for an emergency plumber?
While you wait for your emergency plumber to arrive, there are several steps you can take to reduce potential damage and ensure the safety of your home. For example, you can:
- Shut off your water supply: Locate your stop valve (usually under your kitchen sink or in an airing cupboard) and turn it off to prevent further water damage from a broken pipe or other major water leak
- Turn off your electricity: Leaks near electrical outlets and appliances can be electrical hazards
- Contain the water: Take towels, buckets, mixing bowls and any other containers you have and place them in the affected area to prevent water spreading and causing further damage
- Move furniture: Move valuable or delicate items away from the affected area to prevent them getting damaged
- Ventilate the room: If a clogged sink or sewage backup is creating a bad odour, open windows and switch on fans to improve ventilation
Make sure you communicate with your plumber if the situation escalates before they get there.

Other emergency plumber FAQ's
Questions to ask a 24 hour emergency plumber
Before hiring, you should confirm they have public liability insurance to cover any accidental damage and ask for a clear breakdown of the total costs, including call-out fees. It is also important to ask how long the urgent repair will take to complete and whether they use subcontractors who are fully licensed and insured.
What should I do while waiting for an emergency plumber to arrive?
Before the plumber arrives, you should immediately turn off your main water supply at the stopcock to prevent further flooding and property damage. It is also wise to switch off your electricity if water is leaking near appliances or sockets, and clear any furniture or personal belongings away from the affected area to give the plumber instant access.
How much does an emergency plumber cost to hire?
On average, emergency plumbing services cost between £50 and £180 per hour, with additional charges for any required replacement parts or specialist equipment. Your final bill will depend on your location in the UK, the complexity of the repair, and when you call them out, as weekends, bank holidays, and late-night visits typically command higher rates.

Marcel worked efficiently to deliver a high quality finish to our bathroom renovation. He communicated what he was doing at each stage of the renovation and was helpful in sourcing the materials. He worked long hours and always cleared up after himself. Marcel is friendly, honest and hardworking. The quote was very reasonable in comparison to other quotes we received, our first quote was honoured despite the job being more complex than initially anticipated. We will be using Marcel again for other jobs.

Mark was reliable,efficient and great value. He did a fantastic job on the fire.
Liam came to sort my leaking roof on 1/11/19. Claimed there was more loose tiles on roof and charged me extra to put all of them in place- no pictures provided to prove this, like what other roofers do. Didn’t give me a receipt and promised to email this together with a 5 year guarantee he promised me for paying xtra. He ignored my texts and has now blocked my number. I’d never use him again and not I’m not even sure he even fixed the leak. Unprofessional, disgusting and don’t recommend. Wasted my £200.

Slav and his team worked tirelessly over several days to clear a significant amount of garden soil and relocated a deck in preparation for a new patio. He then organised retaining wall footings and an mot surface ready for the next phase. Throught, he and his team communicated about progress and sought clarification when appropriate. The job was completed on time and in budget and the team always cleared up at the end of the work day. I'm very pleased with Slav's service and have engaged him again.
