What to Do During a Plumbing Emergency

If water is escaping rapidly, turn off the internal stopcock where it is
safe to do so. Move electrical items and valuable belongings away from
the affected area and place containers beneath smaller leaks.

Do not touch electrical fittings, sockets or appliances that may have
come into contact with water. Contact an electrician where there is any
concern about electrical safety.

Urgent Plumbing Call-Outs in Brighton

A plumbing emergency can happen at any time and may affect kitchens,
bathrooms, heating pipework, toilets, tanks and water-supply pipes.

Emergency availability depends on current demand, your location and the

possible so we can understand the problem and prepare for the visit.

Useful information includes:

Your address or postcode
The location of the leak or blockage

Burst Pipe Repairs

A burst pipe can release a large amount of water in a short period of time.
This can damage flooring, ceilings, furniture, plasterwork and electrical
fittings.

Burst pipes may be caused by freezing temperatures, corrosion, damaged
joints, accidental impact or excessive pressure.

Where accessible, our plumber can isolate the damaged section, remove the
failed pipework and install a suitable repair or replacement.

Emergency Water Leak Repairs

Not every water leak is immediately visible. Water may travel beneath
floors, behind walls, through ceilings or inside kitchen units before the
source becomes clear.

Warning signs may include:

Damp patches on walls or ceilings
Water stains or discolouration
Peeling paint or wallpaper
Wet flooring or carpets
Mould or musty smells
Running-water sounds
Low water pressure
Unexpected increases in water use

Finding and repairing the source early can help limit further damage.

Overflowing and Blocked Toilets

An overflowing toilet needs urgent attention because it can create hygiene
problems and damage floors or rooms below.

Possible causes include a blockage in the toilet or waste pipe, a faulty
fill valve, a damaged flush mechanism or a problem with the cistern.

Avoid repeatedly flushing a blocked toilet. Stop using it and contact a
plumber before the water level rises further.

Emergency Kitchen Plumbing

Kitchen plumbing faults can affect taps, sinks, waste pipes, washing
machines, dishwashers and water-supply connections.

We may be able to help with:

Leaking kitchen taps
Under-sink leaks
Blocked kitchen sinks
Damaged sink waste pipes
Leaking flexible hoses
Washing machine valve faults
Dishwasher connection leaks
Broken isolation valves

Emergency Bathroom Plumbing

Bathrooms contain numerous water-supply and waste connections, so leaks can
arise from showers, baths, basins, toilets and concealed pipework.

Emergency bathroom plumbing problems may include:

Leaking showers
Broken shower valves
Bath waste leaks
Overflowing baths or basins
Leaking basin taps
Blocked basins
Toilet cistern faults
Damaged waste fittings

Radiator and Heating Pipe Leaks

Water leaking from a radiator, valve or heating pipe can damage flooring
and reduce pressure within the heating system.

Depending on the fault, the repair may involve tightening or replacing a
valve, repairing pipework or isolating a damaged radiator.

If the leak is associated with a boiler or gas appliance, a suitably
qualified heating or Gas Safe engineer may also be required.

Emergency Plumbing for Landlords

We provide urgent plumbing support for landlords, letting agents and
property managers across Brighton and Hove.

Prompt attention can help reduce property damage and disruption for
tenants. When reporting a problem, provide the property address, tenant
contact details, a description of the fault and any access arrangements.

Emergency Plumbing for Local Businesses

Plumbing faults in shops, offices, restaurants and other commercial
premises can affect staff, customers and normal business operations.

We aim to identify urgent faults efficiently and explain whether an
immediate repair, temporary isolation or follow-up work is required.

What Happens During an Emergency Visit?

The plumber will first assess the visible problem and determine whether the
water supply or affected fitting needs to be isolated.

The visit may include:

Inspecting the affected area
Locating the source of the leak
Isolating damaged pipework or fittings
Clearing accessible blockages
Replacing failed valves or connectors
Repairing damaged pipework
Testing the repair
Explaining any additional work required

Some repairs may require specialist parts or additional access work. Where
the full repair cannot be completed immediately, the plumber will explain
the safest next step.
