Before you get in touch. Check the pressure gauge on the boiler. Note any error codes showing on the display panel.

When you need it. Water is dripping or spraying from pipes, a joint has burst, or there is visible pooling water inside the home.

Before you get in touch. Turn off the water at the stopcock if the leak is severe. Note where the water is coming from.

A plumber uses specialist tools such as drain rods, plungers or a drain camera to identify and remove the blockage. The pipe is flushed through and tested to confirm flow.

Before you get in touch. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners. Note which outlets are affected and when the blockage started.
