What is classed as a plumbing emergency?+
A plumbing emergency is a fault that risks flooding, contamination, injury or serious property damage, such as a burst pipe, sewage backing up indoors or an uncontrolled leak. Complete loss of heating in cold weather can also be urgent, especially for vulnerable occupants. Isolate the water supply if safe and avoid affected electrics. For gas smells, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first.

Why are emergency plumbers so expensive?+
Emergency plumbing costs reflect urgent attendance, out-of-hours availability and the skilled work needed to make leaks or heating faults safe. Access difficulties and the repair required can also affect the quote. Ask what is included and whether the price changes overnight. Emergency Plumber London offers fixed-price repairs from £120+VAT, with the price confirmed on the phone before an engineer is sent. The same price applies day, night, weekends and bank holidays.
How urgent is a burst pipe?+
A burst pipe needs immediate action because escaping water can quickly damage ceilings, floors and electrical installations. Turn off the internal stopcock if you can reach it safely, and keep clear of wet switches, sockets and sagging ceilings. Even after the water stops, the pipe needs repairing before the supply is restored. For urgent help in Cobham, call Emergency Plumber London on 07307 202652, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What are the signs that a water pipe has burst?+
Signs of a burst water pipe include sudden loss of water pressure, rushing or hissing sounds when taps are off, spreading damp patches, bulging ceilings and unexplained pooling water. A concealed burst may also cause your water meter to keep moving when nothing is being used. Turn off the internal stopcock if safe, stop using water and keep away from wet electrics. Do not stand beneath a sagging ceiling; arrange urgent plumbing help.
What is the 135 rule in plumbing?+
There is no single, universally recognised UK plumbing rule called the “135 rule”. The term may refer to a 135-degree fitting or guidance about changes of direction in drainage, but its meaning depends on the source. Drainage design needs suitable gradients, properly selected bends and access for clearing blockages; an angle alone does not determine whether an installation is correct. If you have seen the phrase on a drawing or quotation, ask which fitting or requirement it describes.
