About this service
Burst pipe repair in Kingston upon Thames: stop the water, then fix it for good
The first five minutes matter more than the next five hours. Find your stopcock and turn it clockwise, open the cold taps to drain the system, and if water's anywhere near sockets or a ceiling, switch off the electrics before you do anything else.
Then call us. We isolate the affected section, cut out the failed length of pipe and repair or replace it properly — not a temporary patch that fails again the moment the cold weather returns.
Why pipes burst
Most bursts are an unlagged pipe in a cold loft, garage or outside wall that freezes and splits. The rest are old joints, corrosion, or a pipe caught by a nail or screw. We tell you which it was, because the cause decides whether the same thing is about to happen somewhere else.
Frozen pipes in winter
A frozen pipe often bursts as it thaws, not when it freezes. If a tap runs dry in a cold snap, turn the water off at the stopcock and call us before the thaw. Lagging exposed pipework is one of the cheapest bits of prevention there is.
After the repair
We check the rest of the run for weak joints and tell you plainly if a longer section needs replacing. If the burst was caused by a hidden problem, our leak detection and pipe repair services pick up from there.

Burst pipes in Kingston's older homes
Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Kingston, Norbiton and Surbiton often still have lead or early copper supply pipes, and the 1930s semis of New Malden, Tolworth and Chessington usually have tanks and pipework in an unheated loft. Both are where we see most winter bursts.
We cover the whole borough, KT1 to KT9, and carry the common fittings for older pipe sizes, so most repairs are finished in one visit.

Frequently asked
Burst pipe repair FAQs
How much does a burst pipe repair cost in Kingston?
It depends on access and the length of pipe affected. We give you a fixed price once we've seen it, and we don't start work until you've agreed the number.
Why do pipes burst in the first place?
Almost always an unlagged run in an unheated loft or outside wall that freezes and splits. Lagging exposed pipework is one of the cheapest bits of prevention there is.
Will my home insurance cover a burst pipe?
Most buildings policies cover damage from an escape of water, but every policy is different, so check yours. Take photos before anything is moved, and keep the damaged section of pipe if you can.
Can you repair a pipe under the floor or behind a wall?
Yes. We open up the smallest area we can to reach it, make the repair, and tell you what making good is needed afterwards.
