Emergency Plumber - FAQ

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

What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if needed turn the mains switch off on the power box.

If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be at your place as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start mopping up any water, place a container to catch drips, and clear away valuable items from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You might have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally found on the property perimeter near the road, usually under a blue or black cover.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We understand a obstructed drain can be a major emergency. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is never a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.

A clogged drain is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Regardless of whether it’s a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.

In the rare case that our plumbers can not get the obstruction completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find a temporary solution to tide you over until we return.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely do a good job and can damage the drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Hot Water Tank Issues

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Time to put mucky kids in the shower? Deperately need a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Have a few of dishes to finish up? It’s awkward to have a proper clean up when the water is cold.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it remedied quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it remedied fast so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of the usual household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your wallet very quickly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Lewisham emergency plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder isn’t fixable, our reliable team can help pick the most suitable solution for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is tired and deteriorating, we can arrange for upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

From the small clean water pipes in the walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your house are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even remember them until there is an issue.

Normally you never even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly we’re standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it fixed without delay, to minimise damage to your home, possessions and well-being.

When you identify a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our emergency plumbers as soon as possible. We are waiting to assist Lewisham residents right away. Whilst waiting for us to arrive, it may help to turn off the water to the home.

How did my pipe fail?

There are many reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you reside in a cold region, the pipes may have frozen and split. They might just be aged and dilapidated. The pipes may not have been installed properly when the home was built. Tree roots may grow into subterranean junctions.

Our 24 hour plumbers can diagnose and fix the broken pipes or leaks promptly and efficiently.

Tap Issues Sorted

Do you have a troublesome faucet? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant annoyance. Something that can go unnoticed in the hubbub of daily life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing in the wee hours, disturbing your deams.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking tap can send the bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your residence, give us a ring.

Whether you want an entire new faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert urgent plumbers can quickly locate the cause and resolve it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From large to small, our Lewisham emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we provide a wide selection of urgent and day to day plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?

Usually, a dripping faucet is caused by a worn out or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of faucet, we can often replace worn out parts immediately for a very modest price.
