What is classed as a plumbing emergency?+
A plumbing emergency is a fault posing an immediate risk to people, property or essential sanitation. Examples include an uncontrolled leak, a burst pipe, sewage backing up indoors or a blocked sole toilet. Complete heating failure can also be urgent in cold weather, particularly for vulnerable occupants. Isolate leaking water if safe. If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first.
How long to wait for an emergency plumber?+
For an active leak or burst pipe, arrange help immediately rather than waiting to see whether it stops. Isolate the water supply if safe and avoid wet electrical fittings while you wait.

Why are emergency plumbers so expensive?+
Emergency plumbing can cost more because it requires rapid scheduling, out-of-hours availability and engineers equipped to diagnose and repair unexpected faults. The complexity of the repair and access to damaged pipework also affect the work involved. 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 attention because escaping water can quickly damage floors, ceilings and electrical installations. Shut off the main stopcock if safe, stop using water-fed appliances and keep away from affected electrics. Do not stand beneath a bulging ceiling. Even if the flow stops, the pipe needs repairing before the supply is restored. Emergency Plumber London provides urgent repairs in Merton; call 07307 202652.
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, spreading damp patches, bulging ceilings and unexplained pooling water. A water meter moving when all taps and appliances are off can also indicate a leak. Turn off the main stopcock if you suspect a burst, and keep clear of wet electrics or sagging ceilings. For urgent help in Merton, call Emergency Plumber London on 07307 202652.
What is the 135 rule in plumbing?+
There is no universally recognised UK plumbing standard called the “135 rule”. The term may refer to a 135-degree drainage fitting, which creates a 45-degree change in direction, but its meaning depends on the context. If you have seen it on a drawing, quotation or installation guide, check the surrounding wording before treating it as an installation requirement.
