Emergency Plumbing When You Need It Most
A burst pipe, overflowing toilet or serious water leak can quickly damage floors, walls, furniture and electrical systems. When a plumbing problem cannot wait, our fast-response emergency service is available to help bring the situation under control and prevent further damage.
We respond to urgent plumbing problems across London, including burst or damaged pipes, leaking connections, overflowing cisterns, failed isolation valves and major leaks beneath sinks, baths and appliances. We aim to arrive within 30 to 60 minutes, although response times can vary depending on your location, traffic, access and plumber availability.
When you contact us, provide as much information as possible about the problem and where the water is coming from. This helps us prepare for the repair and bring suitable tools and materials.
If it is safe to do so, turn off the affected fixture or your property’s main water supply while you wait. Keep away from wet electrical fittings and do not attempt to dismantle damaged pipework.
Once on site, the immediate priority is to stop the leak and assess the damage. We will then explain the available repair options and complete an effective repair wherever possible.

Leak Detection and Pipe Repairs
A hidden water leak can cause damp patches, damaged plaster, lifting flooring, mould growth and unexpectedly high water bills. Finding the source quickly can help limit further damage, but the visible signs are not always directly beside the leaking pipe.
Our leak detection service begins with a careful assessment of the affected area and your plumbing system. We will ask when the problem started, where signs of moisture have appeared and whether you have noticed changes in water pressure or usage.
Depending on the circumstances, fault finding may include visual inspection, moisture readings, pressure checks or thermal imaging. These methods can help narrow down the likely source before access work is considered.
Once the problem has been located, we will explain what has been found and discuss the most suitable repair. Where access is required, the aim is to keep openings controlled and limited to the area needed to reach the damaged pipework.
Leaking joints, corroded sections and split or damaged pipes can often be repaired by replacing the affected components. After the work is complete, the repaired section will be checked to confirm that it is secure and no longer leaking.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Common signs include unexplained damp patches, staining, peeling paint, musty smells, lifting flooring, reduced water pressure or increased water bills. You may also hear water moving when taps and appliances are switched off.
-
The investigation may combine visual inspection with moisture readings, pressure testing and thermal imaging where appropriate. The most suitable method depends on the pipe location, property construction and signs of water damage.
-
Not every investigation requires access work. However, once the likely location has been narrowed down, a controlled opening may be needed to inspect and repair the pipe. This will be discussed before work begins.
-
Repairs may include leaking joints, corroded copper pipes, split sections, damaged fittings and leaking connections beneath sinks, floors or inside walls. The repair method will depend on the pipe material, condition and accessibility.
-
If water is escaping rapidly, turn off the nearest isolation valve or main stopcock when it is safe to do so. Keep away from wet electrical fittings and arrange urgent plumbing assistance to prevent additional damage.
