Common questions
Common questions landlords and homeowners ask
The questions we hear most often when an emergency plumber is the answer.
Can I call a 24/7 plumber right now?
Yes. Emergency Repairs London answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including Christmas Day and bank holidays. A real dispatcher picks up, not a voicemail. Call 07456 975436 and an engineer will be moving toward you in minutes.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Anything that risks property damage or health if left: burst pipes, uncontrollable leaks, no heating or hot water in winter, sewage backing up, blocked drains flooding inside, gas-boiler lockouts, and overflowing toilets or cisterns. If you're not sure, call and describe it — we'll tell you honestly whether it needs a 60-minute visit or can wait until morning at the cheaper weekday rate.
How much does an emergency plumber cost in London?
The call-out fee sits between £60 and £120 depending on zone and time of day, with labour at £80–£150 for the first hour. Most straightforward jobs — burst pipe clamp, blocked toilet, running overflow — land between £100 and £250 total. You get a fixed written price before any work starts.
Where can I find a plumber at 2am?
Call 07456 975436. We are one of the few London firms with genuinely 24-hour dispatch — most "24/7" listings route to answering services until morning. Our engineers rotate overnight shifts and stay in-zone, which is why we can be with you inside 60 minutes at 2am.
Do emergency plumbers charge more at night?
Most London firms charge 1.5x to 2x at night, weekends and bank holidays. We charge the same hourly rate around the clock. The call-out fee varies slightly by zone and time (£60–£120), but there is no hidden night premium on the labour.
How quickly can you arrive?
60 minutes is our target across zones 1–3 and we hit it on most calls. Outer boroughs run closer to 75–90 minutes overnight. When you ring we'll give you a realistic ETA based on the engineer we're dispatching, not a marketing number.
Can you turn off my mains water if I can't?
Yes. If you cannot find or turn the stopcock (common in older London properties where the valve is seized), the engineer will isolate the supply at your external stop valve or at the property boundary using a key. While you wait, open the cold taps to drain the system and slow the leak.
Do you handle tenant emergencies for landlords?
Yes — landlords, letting agents and property managers are a core part of our book. We bill to agency accounts monthly, coordinate access directly with tenants, and send the managing agent the engineer report, invoice and photos on completion. Priority dispatch applies on managed-portfolio accounts.
