Common Emergency Plumbing Situations in Bristol

 

Here are the most frequent call-outs we handle — and what you can do before we arrive:


1. Burst Pipe or Flooding

Do this:

  • Turn off your stopcock (usually under the sink or in the hallway)

  • If water’s near electrics, shut off power at the fuse box

  • Place buckets or towels to contain spread


2. Blocked or Overflowing Toilet

Do this:

  • Stop flushing — one more flush could flood your bathroom

  • If it’s safe, turn off the water supply to the cistern

  • Keep everyone away until we arrive


3. No Hot Water or Heating (Boiler Failure)

Do this:

  • Check the boiler display for error codes

  • Make note of any strange noises, flashing lights, or low pressure

  • Don’t attempt DIY resets if unsure — we’ll diagnose it properly


4. Leaking Taps or Pipes

Do this:

  • Use isolation valves (if available) under the sink or behind the toilet

  • Catch drips in a container

  • Take photos for reference in case parts need replacing
