Emergency Plumbing – FAQs
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Common plumbing emergencies include burst pipes, serious water leaks, overflowing toilets, blocked drains causing flooding, and loss of water supply. If a problem poses a risk to your property or health, treat it as an emergency.
Are emergency plumbing repairs more expensive?
Emergency plumbing repairs may cost more than planned work due to urgency and out-of-hours attendance. We provide clear information before starting work so you understand what’s involved and can make an informed decision.
Should I turn off the water before the plumber arrives?
If it’s safe to do so, turning off the mains water supply can help limit damage while waiting for one of our emergency plumbers. If you’re unsure where the stopcock is or can’t access it safely, we can guide you over the phone.
How quickly can an emergency plumber attend?
Response times depend on location and demand, but all our emergency plumbing calls are prioritised. We aim to attend as quickly as possible across Thornbury, Keynsham, Yate, Bristol, and the surrounding areas to reduce disruption and prevent further damage.
