Burst pipe repairs, 24 hours a day
Water spraying, pooling or bubbling up through the lawn. We isolate it, get the rest of the house back on water and repair the pipe.
Water running right now? Close the main stopcock, then phone us. We answer 24 hours a day.
Call MartinA burst pipe needs two things quickly: the water turned off, and someone who can fix it properly. Turn off the main stopcock, then phone us. We answer 24 hours a day.
We repair burst pipes inside walls, under floors and slabs, in roof spaces and out in the garden. Where an old line keeps bursting in different places, we will suggest rerouting that section instead of patching it again and again.
What we get called for
Pipes in walls and ceilings
Opened neatly, repaired and closed up for the plasterer or tiler.
Pipes under slabs and paving
Found first, then opened only where needed.
Garden and irrigation lines
Split lines and leaking connections out in the yard.
Water main repairs
The supply line from the meter to the house, in copper, galvanised, PVC or HDPE.
Old pipes that keep bursting
Rerouted with new pipe so you are not phoning us again next month.

Pressure test the line before we close anything up, so you know it is done.
Common questions
Where is my main stopcock?
Usually near the water meter at the front boundary, or where the main pipe enters the house. If you cannot find it, phone us and we will help.
Can you repair a pipe under a tiled floor?
Yes. We find the exact spot first so only a small section of floor needs lifting.
Do you do burst pipes after hours?
Yes, any time of the day or night.
