Water doesn't wait for business hours. When a pipe bursts, a boiler dies or a toilet overflows, every minute matters — the damage clock starts ticking the moment it happens. Our emergency matching finds a verified engineer on duty in your area right now, and they call you back within minutes.

No call centres, no hold music, no 'we'll be with you tomorrow'. Submit the form, get a call-back, and the engineer arrives with the parts and skills to stop the damage fast.

Common causes

  • Frozen and burst pipes in cold snaps
  • Failed boiler components under load
  • Blocked and overflowed drains and toilets
  • Failed appliance hoses (washing machines, dishwashers)
  • Failing water heaters and immersion elements

What's involved

1

Immediate response: you submit once, we match you to engineers taking emergency work at this hour, in your area.

2

Call-back in minutes: an engineer contacts you directly to confirm the situation and get to you.

3

Rapid containment: stop the water, isolate the electrics, protect your home.

4

Repair and make-safe: the fix itself, with honest pricing agreed before work starts.

Prevention — stop it happening again

Know your stop tap

Find it now, test it yearly, label it. In an emergency it's the difference between a mop and a claim.

Lag your pipes

Lag exposed pipes in lofts, garages and under floors before winter — it's a £10 job that prevents a £1,000 one.

Turn off outside taps in winter

Isolate and drain outside taps before the first frost.

Check appliance hoses

Washing machine hoses should be replaced every 5 years — they burst without warning.

For landlords

Landlords: your repair duties

As a landlord you must keep the property's water, heating, sanitary and drainage systems in good working order and fix them promptly when they fail. You're responsible for structural repairs, the boiler and heating system, plumbing and electrics. Tenants should report faults in writing — and you should respond fast, because a small leak left unattended becomes a big claim.

Landlords: smoke & CO alarms

Smoke alarms must be fitted on every floor of a rented property and tested at the start of each tenancy. Carbon monoxide alarms are required in rooms with solid-fuel appliances (and strongly advised near gas boilers). Check them at every visit — it's both a legal duty and the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy.
