What's gone wrong?
Common emergencies — what to expect
Every emergency starts with the same fixed diagnostic price. Stuart identifies the fault, confirms the repair cost before doing anything, and fixes it on the spot wherever possible.
Burst Pipe / Major Leak Act fast
From £96 diagnostic
Turn off the stopcock immediately to limit water damage, then call. Stuart locates and isolates the leak, then quotes the repair before starting.
- Stopcock guidance over the phone
- Same-day attendance wherever possible
- Fixed repair quote before work starts
No Heating
From £96 diagnostic
Could be pressure loss, a pump fault, a stuck valve, or a boiler lockout. Stuart diagnoses on site and fixes most faults the same visit.
- Full system diagnostic
- Common parts carried on the van
- Vaillant, Viessmann, Worcester & more
No Hot Water
From £96 diagnostic
Heating works but no hot water is usually a stuck diverter valve on a combi, or a cylinder fault on a system boiler. Usually a same-visit fix.
- Combi & cylinder systems covered
- Replacement valves carried on the van
- G3 qualified for unvented cylinders
Boiler Lockout / Fault Code
From £96 diagnostic
A fault code on the display usually points to a specific issue — low pressure, ignition failure, or a frozen condensate pipe in winter.
- Fault code identified over the phone where possible
- Frozen condensate unblocked on the spot
- All major boiler brands covered
Gas Smell / Suspected Gas Leak
Call National Gas first
If you smell gas: turn off the gas at the meter, open windows, don't use any electrical switches, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately. Call Stuart once it's safe to arrange a follow-up check.
- Gas Safe registered 599015
- Follow-up checks & repairs
- Always prioritise the National Gas helpline first
Non-Urgent Plumbing
From £96 fixed price
A dripping tap, a single cold radiator, or a slow drain usually isn't an emergency and can be booked as a standard appointment rather than an out-of-hours callout.
- Standard daytime appointment
- No out-of-hours surcharge
- Same fixed-price approach

While you wait
What to do before Stuart arrives
Burst pipe or major leak
Turn off the stopcock, usually under the kitchen sink or near the water meter, to stop the flow of water immediately.
Suspected gas leak
Turn off the gas at the meter, open windows, don't use any electrical switches, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
No heating
Check the boiler pressure gauge and any displayed fault code — this information helps speed up the diagnosis on arrival.
Frozen condensate pipe
Common in winter lockouts. Pouring warm (not boiling) water over an accessible external condensate pipe can sometimes clear it — if unsure, wait for Stuart.
Overflowing tank or cylinder
Turn off the water supply to the affected tank or cylinder where there's an isolation valve, to limit further water loss.
Not sure if it's an emergency?
Call anyway — Stuart will tell you honestly whether it needs an emergency callout or can wait for a standard appointment.
