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.
