Does this sound familiar?

  • Water spraying, dripping or pouring from a pipe
  • A sudden drop in water pressure
  • Damp patches spreading across a ceiling or wall
  • The sound of running water when everything is off
  • A water meter that keeps ticking with taps closed

This is an emergency — act now

Turn off your stopcock, then call or WhatsApp us immediately.

What's usually going on

  • Frozen pipes that expanded and split in cold weather
  • Corroded or old pipework failing at a joint
  • Excess water pressure stressing a weak section
  • Accidental damage during other works

First: close your main stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink or where the supply enters the flat) to stop the flow, and turn off the water heating. If water is near electrics, switch off at the consumer unit and don't touch it.

Then send us a photo on WhatsApp or call — we'll talk you through limiting the damage and get an emergency plumber to you fast, with a set price rather than an inflated emergency rate.
