Frequently Asked Questions — Emergency Plumbing
Are you genuinely available 24/7?
Yes — our emergency line 073 707 8085 is answered by real people 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When you call, we dispatch a plumber immediately — including Christmas Day and public holidays.
How fast can you get to me in an emergency?
We aim to have an emergency plumber at your property within 60 minutes for most areas we cover. Call us for an honest estimate for your specific area.
Do you charge extra for night or weekend callouts?
Emergency and after-hours callouts are priced differently to standard appointments. We always provide a clear quote before starting — you approve the price before we do any work. No hidden fees.
What should I do while waiting for the plumber?
For a burst pipe: turn off the main water stopcock immediately. For a sewage overflow: avoid using any drains or toilets. For a blocked drain: don't use chemical drain cleaners — they can damage pipes and complicate the repair.
Can you fix the problem fully on an emergency callout?
In the majority of cases, yes. Our emergency vehicles carry the equipment and materials to resolve most plumbing emergencies on the first visit. In rare cases involving major pipe failure, we make the situation safe and return to complete the work.
