Emergency Heating Water Leak

What this emergency heating water leak service covers

When a leak is coming from pipework, radiators or heating components, the priority is to stop the water, protect the property and restore safe operation.

• Rapid isolation of the heating circuit to reduce flooding and water damage
• Diagnosis of the leak source (radiator, valve, pipework, joints, pumps and other fittings)
• Targeted repair or replacement of failed parts where possible
• System pressure checks and safe re-pressurisation when appropriate
• Temporary make-safe measures when a permanent repair needs follow-on parts
• Practical advice on drying out, monitoring and preventing repeat leaks

When to call for an emergency

This service is suited to situations where waiting risks damage or loss of heating.

• Water leaking from a radiator, valve or heating pipe
• Repeated pressure drops on the boiler with visible signs of water
• Leaks affecting ceilings, electrics, flooring, or neighbouring properties
• You have isolated water where possible but the leak is ongoing

If you can do so safely, turn the heating off and contain the leak with towels or a tray until help arrives.

What happens during the visit

The work is structured to keep disruption low and decisions clear.

1. Initial safety checks, then isolate the heating circuit and control the leak.
2. Locate the fault and explain the likely cause and repair options.
3. Complete the repair or make the system safe, then test for leaks and stable pressure.
4. Confirm what has been done and what to watch for over the next 24 to 48 hours.

After the repair

Once the leak is stopped, the next step is ensuring the system stays reliable.

• Guidance on bleeding radiators and maintaining correct system pressure
• Recommendations if corrosion, sludge or ageing valves are contributing factors
• If a temporary repair was required, a clear plan for the follow-up fix and any parts needed
