What To Do Right Now
While you wait for us to arrive, these steps can limit damage and keep your household safe. Stay calm — most emergencies look worse than they are.
Burst Pipe
- Locate and turn off the stopcock — usually under the kitchen sink or where the water main enters the property.
- Turn on all cold taps to drain the remaining water from the pipes.
- Switch off the boiler and central heating to avoid drawing cold air through the system.
- Call us — we'll be on our way.
Boiler Not Working / No Heat
- Check the pressure gauge — it should read between 1.0 and 1.5 bar. If it's below that, the boiler may need re-pressurising.
- Reset the boiler once using the reset button (refer to your manual). If it fires then locks out again, stop — there's a fault that needs a Gas Safe engineer.
- Check whether the condensate pipe (the plastic pipe that exits outside) is frozen — in winter this is a common cause of lockout.
- If you smell gas: do NOT reset the boiler. Evacuate and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
Leaking Radiator Valve
- Place a towel or container under the valve immediately to catch drips.
- Turn off the lockshield valve (the plastic-capped valve) and the wheelhead valve (the hand valve) on either side of the radiator — this isolates it.
- If the gland nut is weeping, you can apply a couple of wraps of PTFE tape and hand-tighten. Do not over-tighten.
- Call us to replace the valve properly.
Blocked Drain or Toilet
- Use a proper cup plunger — place it over the outlet, push down firmly, and pull sharply several times.
- Do not use chemical drain cleaner if the blockage is total. It won't clear a solid blockage and makes our job significantly harder.
- If the toilet is at risk of overflowing, lift the cistern lid and push the flap down to stop more water entering the bowl.
- Call us — we carry professional drain rods and jetting equipment.
No Hot Water (Cylinder / Tank System)
- Check the immersion heater switch is on (usually a red switch near the hot water cylinder).
- Check the cylinder's thermostat — if it has tripped due to overheating, press the reset button on the thermostat body.
- Check your programmer or timer — it may have lost its settings after a power cut.
- If none of the above resolves it, call us for a same-day diagnosis.
Gas Smell — Act Immediately
- Do NOT operate any electrical switches — do not turn lights on or off, do not press any appliance buttons.
- Open windows and doors to ventilate the property.
- Evacuate everyone from the building immediately.
- Once outside, call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 — available 24 hours.
- Do not re-enter until a Gas Safe engineer has declared it safe.
