FAQs
What should I do immediately if a pipe bursts in my Kingston property?
Turn off your main water shut-off valve right away to stop the flow of water. If it’s safe, switch off electricity to any affected areas. Then call our 24/7 emergency plumbing line. While you wait for the plumber, open taps to drain any remaining water in the system and place towels or buckets to catch leaks. Taking these steps can greatly reduce water damage.
How fast can your emergency plumbers reach me in Kingston?
Because our technicians are based in and around Kingston, we typically arrive within 30–60 minutes of your call, traffic and weather permitting. Our dispatch team uses GPS to allocate the closest available plumber, ensuring the quickest possible response for burst or leaking pipes.
Are your plumbers qualified to repair burst pipes and handle related emergencies?
Yes. All of our plumbers are fully licensed, insured, and Gas Safe registered. They carry professional leak-detection equipment, pipe-freezing kits, and a wide range of pipe fittings, so most repairs—from copper and PVC to PEX—can be completed on the first visit.
Can you help with water damage cleanup after the pipe is fixed?
Absolutely. Once the burst pipe is repaired, we can extract standing water, install temporary drying equipment, and recommend trusted local restoration partners for full structural drying, mould prevention, and repairs. Acting quickly reduces long-term damage and insurance costs.
How much does it cost to fix a burst pipe in Kingston?
Emergency call-outs start at £95+VAT, which covers the first hour of labour and basic materials. Complex repairs, extensive pipe replacement, or out-of-hours visits may increase the final price. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote on site before any work begins, and we work with most insurers if you need to file a claim.
Do you offer preventive services to stop pipes from bursting in the future?
Yes. We provide pipe insulation, annual plumbing inspections, water pressure testing, and smart leak-detection device installation. These proactive measures help prevent freezing, corrosion, and excessive pressure—the leading causes of burst pipes—saving you money and stress in the long run.
