FAQ - Urgent Plumbers

I've got a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so switch the power off at the power panel if needed first.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water valve to stop all water to the property.

Once you have stopped the leak from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. We’ll be there quickly to resolve the issue.

While you are waiting, remove any important things close to the leak, and mop up any water or put a container to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You may know it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is located on the boundary close to the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
