Plumbing near you

Common plumbing problems

• Dripping taps and running toilets
• Leaks under sinks, baths or from pipework
• Low water pressure or showers swinging hot and cold
• Blocked sinks, basins and toilets

When it may need urgent attention

Treat an active leak as urgent, especially if water is coming through a ceiling or near electrics. Turn off the stop tap (often under the kitchen sink) and, if water is near sockets or lights, switch off the electricity at the consumer unit.

Before you book

• Know where the stop tap is before you need it.
• Send a photo or short video of the problem if you can.
• Say whether the property has a combi boiler or a hot water cylinder.

Qualifications and safety

Plumbers can work on water pipes, taps and toilets, but any work on gas appliances or gas pipework, including boilers, must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
