What counts as urgent?
Jobs that usually need immediate attention.
- Water actively escaping from pipework, fittings, or a damaged fixture.
- Overflowing toilet or waste system backing up into the property.
- Leak affecting electrics, ceilings, timber, or lower floors.
- Plumbing failure that significantly affects the safe use of the property.
If water is escaping, call first.
Use the contact page afterward only if you need to add fuller property detail once the urgent issue is controlled.
What to do now
Keep the situation as controlled as possible.
- If it is safe, isolate the water supply.
- Move belongings away from the affected area.
- Keep access clear to avoid delays on arrival.
- Call with the problem, the address, and any access constraints.
What helps the call go faster
Share the detail that changes the response.
- Whether water is still escaping right now.
- Which room or fitting is involved.
- Whether neighbours or lower floors are affected.
- Whether the main stop tap has already been found.
Emergency situations
Urgent plumbing problems that need immediate attention.
Burst pipe
Split supply pipework, joint failure, or visible water escape from damaged plumbing lines.
Leaking ceiling
Water ingress from a flat above, boxed-in pipework, bathroom leaks, or waste line faults.
Overflowing toilet
Toilet blockage, failed fill valve, or drainage backup affecting the safe use of the bathroom.
Urgent waste issue
Backflow, foul smells with visible overflow risk, or waste lines not discharging properly.
When to call right away
Urgent plumbing problems need fast action.
- If the problem is actively causing damage, stopping safe use, or affecting another room or flat, call immediately.
- Use the call button for active water escape, overflow, or ceiling leak situations.
- The contact page is better for follow-up detail once the immediate issue is under control.
Before you book
Important information for urgent jobs.
- Urgency can be communicated clearly without making promises that may not fit every job.
- Arrival time depends on the fault, location, and access, so timing is confirmed after the job is assessed.
- If your emergency also involves gas appliances, always confirm separately that any gas work would be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Should I still use the form if the leak is active?
No. If water is actively escaping, call first. The form is better for follow-up detail or for non-urgent jobs where the full context matters more than the speed of first contact.
What if the leak is affecting another flat or lower floor?
Mention that immediately on the call. Problems affecting other properties or shared areas usually need quicker triage because the exposure and disruption are greater.
Can you help if I do not know where the stop tap is?
Yes, but mention that on the call. If you can find it safely before attendance, that can reduce the amount of active damage while the job is being handled.
