Frequently asked questions
Emergency plumber in Essex: your questions answered
What should I do before you arrive?
Turn the water off at the main stop tap — usually under the kitchen sink or just outside the front of the property. If it is a heating leak, turn the boiler off too. Then contain what you can with towels and buckets. Those two minutes save far more damage than anything we do on arrival.
What actually counts as an emergency?
Water you cannot stop, sewage entering the property, a total loss of water, or a leak that is running into another home. A dripping tap or a slow-draining bath is not an emergency — and we will say so rather than charge you an emergency rate for it.
How much does an emergency call out cost?
We quote the call-out rate on the phone before we set off, including any out-of-hours uplift, so there is no surprise when we arrive. If the repair turns out to need parts or additional work, we stop and agree that with you first.
How quickly can you get to me?
It depends where you are and what else is running. We prioritise by severity and by distance from our South Ockendon base. Whatever the answer, we will give you a realistic time on the phone rather than a vague window.
I cannot find my stop tap. What now?
Look under the kitchen sink first, then in a downstairs cloakroom or utility, then for an external cover near the boundary. If you genuinely cannot find it, tell us when you call and we will talk you through limiting the damage until we arrive. It is also worth us fitting an accessible lever valve afterwards.
Do you charge more at night and weekends?
Out-of-hours work is charged at a higher rate, which we confirm on the phone before attending. Our standard hours are 7am to 9pm, seven days a week, so a weekend daytime call is usually at the normal rate.
