FAQs

How quickly can you respond to emergencies?

We aim to respond to genuine plumbing emergencies as quickly as possible, typically within a few hours during normal working hours. For out-of-hours emergencies, response times may be longer but we'll always try to attend the same day if the situation is urgent. When you call, we'll give you a realistic timeframe based on your location within our Peterborough service area and the nature of the emergency.

What constitutes a plumbing emergency?

A plumbing emergency is any situation that poses immediate risk to your property or health, or completely disrupts essential services. This includes burst pipes, major leaks causing flooding, complete loss of water supply, severely blocked toilets or drains, and overflowing systems. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, call us anyway - we'll provide guidance and arrange appropriate response timing.

What should I do while waiting for emergency help?

While waiting for our emergency response, try to minimise damage by turning off the water supply at the mains stopcock if there's flooding. For electrical safety, switch off power to affected areas if water is present. Try to contain any leaks with towels or containers, and move valuable items away from affected areas. We'll provide specific guidance over the phone based on your particular emergency situation.

Do you charge extra for emergency callouts?

Emergency callouts may incur additional charges to cover the immediate response, particularly for out-of-hours work. However, we keep these charges as reasonable as possible and will always discuss costs upfront when you call. The priority during a genuine emergency is resolving the immediate problem - we'll provide clear pricing information and won't start any non-essential work without your agreement.
