A plumbing emergency is a fault that risks immediate damage, health or safety, such as a burst pipe, uncontrolled leak, sewage backing up or loss of heating in dangerously cold conditions.

What is the 135 rule for plumbing?+
There is no single universally recognised plumbing rule called the '135 rule'. The phrase may refer to a 135-degree fitting or guidance about changes of direction in drainage, but its meaning depends on the context. Drainage layout must account for pipe size, gradient and access for clearing blockages. Share the wording or diagram where you saw the term so it can be explained accurately.
Why are emergency plumbers so expensive?+
Emergency plumbing can cost more because urgent attendance requires available engineers, travel and equipment at short notice, while difficult access or extensive damage can complicate repairs. Ask what the quoted price covers before booking. Emergency Plumber London offers fixed-price repairs from £120+VAT, with the same price day, night, weekends and bank holidays. Your price is confirmed on the phone before an engineer is sent.
How much would a plumber charge for 3 hours work?+
Three hours of plumbing work does not necessarily mean a time-based bill: the repair needed, access and parts determine the quote.

Describe the problem when calling 07307 202652 so the repair can be priced.
What are the signs of a good plumber?+
A good plumber asks about the symptoms, explains the likely cause and agrees the scope and price before starting. They protect the work area, identify how to isolate the supply and test the repair for leaks and correct operation before leaving. Look for clear explanations rather than pressure to replace everything. For gas work, use a Gas Safe registered engineer and check their ID covers the work required.
