Browse 1186 towns across the UK with verified emergency plumbers. All 36,431 companies listed are incorporated at Companies House with a Company Number you can check independently.
Emergency plumbing covers burst pipes, sudden leaks, flooding, frozen pipes in winter, boiler breakdowns leaving you without heat or hot water, and any water issue that risks property damage if left for hours.
Before help arrives, find your stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink) and shut off the mains. Switch off the electrics at the consumer unit if water is near sockets. Take photos for your insurance claim. Do not lift floorboards or open ceilings yourself.
Genuine 24/7 emergency response is not the same as a plumber who picks up after 9am. Ask whether the engineer is currently on-call, what their ETA is to your postcode, and whether the quoted callout fee includes the first hour of labour or not.
