24/7 emergency plumber
across Herts & Essex.
When water is coming out of somewhere it shouldn't, every minute costs money. Ring us at any hour and you get a local plumber on the phone — not an answering service — who will talk you through stopping the damage while we're on the way.
Emergency call-outs
Ring us straight away if
Water is actively pouring
A burst pipe or failed joint flooding a room. Turn off the stop tap first, then call.
A ceiling is bulging or dripping
Water pooling above a plasterboard ceiling can bring it down. This is urgent.
You have no water at all
Loss of supply across the whole house, often a failed valve or a mains issue.
Sewage is backing up
Waste coming back up a toilet or shower tray is a health risk, not a wait-till-Monday job.
You can't find or turn the stopcock
Seized stop taps are extremely common. We'll guide you by phone, then replace it.
Your boiler is leaking
Any water escaping a boiler or cylinder needs isolating before it reaches electrics.
What you get

- A genuine arrival window, and a call from us if anything changes
- Isolating the leak and making the property safe as the first priority
- Full diagnosis, then a price agreed with you before any repair begins
- Permanent repair where possible, or a safe temporary fix with a plan for the rest
- The work tested in front of you and the area cleaned down before we leave

What it costs
You'll know the price
You'll know the price
before we start.
Plumbing has a reputation for surprise bills. Here's exactly how we handle money, so an emergency visit never becomes one.
BEFORE
You get a price first
We diagnose the fault, explain what's needed and tell you what it costs. Nothing starts until you've agreed to it — so you're never committed before you know the number.
DURING
No surprise additions
If we find something else while we're there, we stop and tell you. It goes on the bill only if you say yes. No “while I was in there” extras appearing at the end.
AFTER
One clear invoice
Parts and labour itemised, matching the price you agreed. Landlords get documentation suitable for their records without having to chase us for it.
No hidden charges. You approve the price before any work starts. See our pricing.

Straight answers
Questions we get asked.
Are you really available at 3am?
Yes. Our Google listing says open 24 hours because it is — nights, weekends and bank holidays. Ring 07858 117024 and you will get a plumber.
What should I do before you arrive?
Turn off the stop tap, usually under the kitchen sink or where the mains enters the house. Open the cold taps to drain the system down, and move anything valuable clear of the water. We'll walk you through it on the call.
Will I know the cost before you start?
Always. We diagnose the problem, explain what's needed and agree the price with you before any work begins. Visits start from £75 for a standard appointment (Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm), from £125 for an urgent evening or weekend visit (weekday evenings 5pm–9pm, plus weekends and bank holidays from 8am–9pm) and from £165 for a late-night emergency visit (9pm–8am, every day including weekends and bank holidays). The final cost depends on the job, access and any parts required. No hidden charges. You approve the price before any work starts.
Do you cover my area at night?
Yes. From our base in Sawbridgeworth we cover East Hertfordshire and West Essex — Bishop's Stortford, Harlow, Hertford, Hoddesdon, Saffron Walden, Great Dunmow, Stansted, Takeley and the villages between — around the clock.
