What we do
Water isolated at the stop tap, the split section cut out and replaced, and the supply back on before we leave.
A damp patch or a rising bill with no visible source. We trace the leak before anything gets lifted or cut.
Sinks, showers and outside gullies cleared, and the cause checked so it does not simply back up again next week.
Lockouts, pressure loss, leaks and failed controls diagnosed, with the fault explained before any part is fitted.
Cold taps only, or hot water that runs out in minutes. Cylinder, immersion and boiler faults all covered.
Blocked pans, constant running, failed flushes and leaking cisterns, fixed without tearing the bathroom apart.
Dripping taps, seized isolation valves and stop taps that will not turn when you most need them to.
Leaking valves, corroded radiators and cold spots across the system, drained down and put right.
Same-hour callout, 24 hours a day, with the nearest available plumber.

North East FAQ
Can’t see yours here? Call and ask — someone picks up at any hour of the day or night.
A street-wide loss of water is the water company’s to fix, not a problem with your pipes, and nobody should charge you to tell you that. Most of the North East is supplied by Northumbrian Water, but there are exceptions — a small area around Hartlepool, for one, is supplied by Hartlepool Water — so check the top of your water bill to be sure whose it is. If the water is off or leaking only in your own property, it is ours.
The town list is where our plumbers are based, not a boundary. In and around Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Darlington and Middlesbrough it is 30 to 60 minutes. Further out — up in Northumberland, along the coast, or out in the Durham dales — it takes longer, and we would rather tell you so. Give us the postcode when you call and we will tell you the real travel time rather than quote a standard one we cannot keep.
Work out where the water is coming from before you decide. If it is coming through the ceiling from the flat above, ask your neighbour to check their taps, washing machine and shower, and to turn their own stopcock off if they can find it. If it is coming from a pipe in your own flat, turn your own stopcock off and ring us. Tell us which room it is in and how fast it is coming through. If water is near light fittings or sockets, switch the power off at the fuse board first if you can do it safely.
Turn the stopcock off straight away, then open the cold taps to drain the system, and switch off the heating and any immersion heater. Do not try to thaw a frozen pipe with a naked flame or a blowtorch; a hairdryer on low or a hot water bottle wrapped round it is safer. A split pipe often shows only when it thaws, so a pipe that looked fine can start pouring water an hour later. If you find a leak, or are not sure, ring us. In a cold spell the North Sea air can turn an unlagged loft pipe into a problem in a single night.
It is usually the condensate pipe or the pressure relief valve. A condensate pipe that drips a little is normal, but one that freezes in a cold snap blocks the boiler and stops it. A pipe that runs steadily, or drips water from the pressure relief valve, is a fault and should not be ignored. If you smell gas, leave the house and ring the National Gas Emergency number, 0800 111 999, before you call anyone else. Otherwise, ring us and tell us what the boiler pressure gauge reads.
If it is overflowing, turn off the isolation valve behind the toilet, or the stopcock if there is no valve. Do not flush again. A cistern that runs constantly usually means a worn flush valve or a failed float valve, and either can be replaced on a single visit. If the toilet is overflowing and the water is coming up as well as down, the blockage is further along the drain, and you should ring us straight away.
