Domestic plumbing across London and Essex
24-hour emergency plumber in London and Essex
We offer 24-hour emergency plumbing call-outs across London and Essex. For a burst pipe, major water leak or sudden loss of water, call rather than sending a form. We can discuss what is happening and confirm whether we can attend.
Limit water damage safely
If it is safe and you know where it is, turn off your internal stopcock to isolate the water supply. It is often beneath the kitchen sink, but its location varies. Do not force a seized valve or take risks reaching it. Keep people away from slippery floors and any area where water is near electrical fittings.
Do not touch wet switches, sockets or appliances. If you can safely reach a dry electrical isolation point, isolating power may be appropriate; otherwise stay clear and seek professional help. If you smell gas, leave the property and call the UK National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from a safe location. A plumbing call is not a substitute for emergency services.
Tell us what has happened
When you phone, describe where the water is coming from, whether you have isolated the supply, and your location in London or Essex. Let us know if access is restricted or if the affected pipe is inside a wall or ceiling. These details help us discuss the next steps.
We offer 24-hour emergency plumbing call-outs across London and Essex. Call 07496 037658 for urgent help. Attendance depends on availability and location; response times are not guaranteed.
We handle burst pipes, serious domestic water leaks and urgent plumbing problems. Call to check rather than waiting for a reply to an online enquiry. If the water supply has stopped throughout the street, your water supplier may need to investigate.
Common questions
Do you guarantee an arrival time?
No fixed response time is advertised. Phone with your location and the problem so we can confirm current availability and discuss attendance.
Should I use the enquiry form for a burst pipe?
Please call 07496 037658 for anything urgent. The form is intended for non-urgent enquiries and does not provide an emergency response.
What if I cannot find or turn the stopcock?
Don't force it or put yourself at risk. Call and explain the situation. Keep clear of water near electrics and, where appropriate, contact your water supplier about isolating the supply.
