What is classed as a plumbing emergency?+
A plumbing emergency is a fault that risks flooding, sewage contamination or immediate harm, such as a burst pipe, uncontrolled leak or overflowing toilet that cannot be isolated. Loss of heating can also be urgent in cold weather, particularly for vulnerable occupants. Shut off the water if safe and avoid wet electrics. 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 uncontrolled leak or sewage overflow, seek help immediately rather than waiting for the damage to worsen. Turn off the water supply if safe, stop using affected fixtures and keep clear of wet electrical fittings.

How to spot a dodgy plumber?+
Warning signs include refusing to explain charges, demanding full payment before assessing the fault, pressuring you into unnecessary replacements or avoiding written details of the agreed work. A trustworthy plumber should explain what they found and obtain your agreement before additional work. For gas jobs, check the engineer’s Gas Safe ID and relevant work categories. A low quote alone does not prove dishonesty, but vague terms deserve scrutiny.
What is the 135 rule in plumbing?+
There is no single universal plumbing requirement called the “135 rule”. The phrase may refer to a 135-degree drainage fitting, which produces a 45-degree change in direction rather than a sharp right-angle turn. Gentler changes can help drainage flow and access for clearing blockages, but the correct arrangement depends on the installation. If someone mentions this rule, ask which fitting, drawing or drainage requirement they mean.
What plumbers wish you knew?+
Plumbers often wish people knew where their main stopcock is and checked that it turns before a leak happens. Avoid flushing wipes or pouring fat down sinks, and do not ignore small leaks or repeatedly falling boiler pressure. Repeatedly topping up a boiler can mask an underlying fault. Photograph leaks and note when symptoms occur; this helps diagnosis. Avoid chemical drain cleaners before a visit, and disclose any already used.
What to say when you call a plumber?+
Start with your address, the main problem and whether water is still escaping. Explain when it began, which fixtures are affected and whether you have isolated the supply. Mention any water near electrics, sewage, loss of heating or vulnerable occupants. For boiler problems, give the make, model and displayed fault code without removing the casing. Ask for the arrival time, agreed price and what to do safely while waiting.
How to check if a plumber is good?+
A good plumber asks about the symptoms, explains the likely cause and makes the scope and price clear before starting. Look for someone who discusses repair options, protects your home and checks for leaks after the work. For gas work, check the engineer’s Gas Safe registration and that their ID card covers the work required. Be cautious if someone recommends major replacements without explaining their diagnosis.
