What Should I DO In
An Emergency?
Plumbing and heating emergencies can strike without warning. Although regular maintenance helps lower the chances of unexpected issues, they can still occur at the most inconvenient times.
Your priority should be to contact a Gas Safe registered plumbing and heating engineer to assess and resolve the problem.
While waiting for the engineer to arrive, there are steps you can take to limit damage and prevent the situation from escalating further.
Gas Leak
Ventilate Your Property
Open all windows and doors to allow fresh air to circulate and help disperse the gas.
Shut Off the Gas Supply
Find the main gas valve, usually located near your gas meter, and turn it 90 degrees to stop the gas flow.
Avoid Potential Hazards
- Do not use light switches, as they can create sparks.
- Do not light matches, candles, or any flames.
- Do not operate electrical appliances or plugs.
Once these steps are complete, move outside to a safe area and call a qualified Gas Safe engineer for assistance.
Burst Pipe
Turn Off the Water Supply
Locate the stopcock, usually under the sink or near the water meter, and turn it clockwise to shut off the water flow.
Drain the System
Turn on all cold taps and flush toilets to drain any remaining water from the system and reduce pressure in the pipes.
Contain the Water
Use buckets, towels, or other absorbent materials to catch and soak up any leaking water to minimise damage.
Avoid Using Electrical Appliances
If water is near electrical sockets or devices, switch off your electricity at the fuse box to avoid potential hazards.
Once the immediate situation is under control, contact a professional plumber to repair the burst pipe and assess for further damage.
Boiler Breakdown
Check the Power Supply
Ensure your boiler is receiving power by checking the fuse box and making sure the circuit hasn’t tripped.
Inspect the Pressure Gauge
If the pressure is too low (below 1 bar), you may need to top it up following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Reset the Boiler
Try resetting your boiler using the reset button. Refer to your boiler’s manual for guidance on how to do this safely.
Avoid DIY Repairs
Do not attempt to dismantle or repair the boiler yourself, as this can be dangerous and may void warranties.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue, contact a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer to diagnose and repair the problem.

EXCELLENT Based on 20 reviews Piers Lock2025-03-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service, took only 8 days to source and fit a new flush valve for an obsolete cistern - something we were previously told was impossible! Fantastic communication and manner throughout, professional and clearly cares about the quality of the work. Recommend their services to anybody in need of a reliable plumber, we will be using them exclusively for any future work! Michael Carrick2025-03-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Work was done quickly. Toilet was ordered and he was very quick to organise and schedule us in for work. The cold infill valve was leaking slightly but he was quick to come back and resolve the issue. He even fixed our kitchen sink tap whilst he came to resolve the cold infill valve. Would 100% use again. Harriet_Florence_ 832025-03-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic Experience with React South– Highly Recommend!

They were quick, responsive, and helpful, and their work was top notch and very reasonably priced. Have since used them for another small job, and will use them in the future. Highly recommended.
