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:

  1. 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
  2. Turn off your electricity: Leaks near electrical outlets and appliances can be electrical hazards
  3. 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
  4. Move furniture: Move valuable or delicate items away from the affected area to prevent them getting damaged
  5. 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.

How much does an emergency plumber cost to hire?

How much it will cost you to hire an emergency plumber depends on a range of factors, including:

  1. When you need the plumber, with weekends, holiday periods, and non-working hour periods often costing more
  2. How complex and severe the plumbing repair is, with extensive water damage leading to higher service charges
  3. The cost of any parts and materials your plumber might need to fix your problem
  4. Where you live in the UK, with cost of labour rising in London and the South East

On average, you can expect to pay anywhere between £50 and £180 an hour for emergency plumbing services, with additional charges for any parts and specialist equipment needed to complete the job.

Adam rang very quickly after my posting of the leak. Checked with me what I had done to stop the water, made me feel at ease to wait for him to sort the job the next day. He arrived promptly, completed the job, left the landing tidy. Checked all was working correctly before he left. Will be using Adam again as I have a boiler service coming up

Great service. Ryan kept us fully informed and arrived on time. His experience enabled him to successfully complete a challenging job. Very pleased.

Hi, I specialise in emergency plumbing repairs and general maintenance within domestic properties. I’ve been plumbing for fifteen years within the Norfolk area and understand the problems we face as a county . I’m a master at repairing taps , restoring pressure and finding typical faults within both gravity fed and combination systems. I’ve had experience with replacement supply pipes and know all about stopcocks. Toilets are another strong point for me , cisterns can be repaired most of the time at a fraction of the cost of a replacement. Water conservation is close to my heart , I always take this into consideration and offer best advice on products to help customers become as efficient as possible. I’m a friendly individual, proud to go the extra mile to help others.

Quick quote, arrived on time and totally helped us out after our plumber had let us down and left us without heat for several days.

No heating, Hamisi has installed the boiler for me in Nov. 2022. On Feb. 24 the boiler stopped working, He came back and claimed that there was a problem with the heating pipe that would take too long to fix not the boiler but couldn't get the boiler back to work. Another gas plumber and British gas engineer attended the property and reported that the boiler was wrongly installed. I sent the report to HMW who refuses responsibility and does not want to come and fix it because it will take a long time.
