Emergency Leak Repair

What emergency leak repair covers

When you have water escaping where it should not, fast, methodical work matters. This service is designed to stop the leak, limit damage, and get your plumbing back to a safe, usable state.

• Isolating the water supply safely (local valve or main stopcock)
• Locating the source of the leak and confirming the cause
• Repairing leaking pipework, joints, valves and fittings
• Fixing common internal leak points (radiators, toilets, taps, appliance feeds)
• Temporary containment where needed until a full repair can be completed
• Pressure and function checks after the repair
• Practical advice on drying out and next steps if damage has occurred

When this service is the right fit

Emergency leak repair is most suitable when the leak is active and likely to cause ongoing damage, or when you cannot safely control it yourself. Typical scenarios include water coming through ceilings, a sudden pipe or fitting failure, or a persistent leak from a radiator or toilet that will not stop.

It is also a good fit for landlords and small premises where you need prompt action, clear communication, and a straightforward summary of what was found and fixed.

What happens during the visit

The priority is to stop the water and make the area safe. The work usually follows a clear sequence: isolate, assess, trace the leak, repair, then test.

You will be advised if any additional work is recommended, for example replacing a worn valve or correcting a poor connection, so the issue does not return.

After the leak is stopped

Once the repair is complete, you will get confirmation of what caused the leak and what was done to resolve it. If there are signs of wider wear or risk elsewhere in the system, you will be given practical options for preventative repairs, with no unnecessary upsell.

If you need support for a tenant, managing agent, or insurer, ask for a brief written summary of the findings while the details are fresh.
