About this service
24-hour emergency plumber in Kingston upon Thames
When something has gone seriously wrong with your water in Kingston upon Thames, waiting isn't really an option. That's what "emergency" means to us too — not a booking category, an actual same-day priority. Tell us what's happening, and if it's genuinely urgent (water you can't stop, no water at all, anything near electrics) we'll get a plumber moving straight away.
Not every plumbing problem is a genuine emergency, and we'd rather tell you that honestly than charge you emergency rates for a dripping tap that can safely wait until tomorrow. On the phone we'll ask a couple of quick questions and give you a straight answer either way.
What counts as a plumbing emergency
Water you can't stop, water near sockets or light fittings, a ceiling that is bulging or dripping, sewage backing up into the property, or no water at all. A slow drip, a single cold radiator or a toilet that keeps running can usually wait for a normal appointment at standard rates.
What to do before we arrive
Turn your stopcock clockwise to shut off the water (it is usually under the kitchen sink). Open the cold taps to drain the pipes. If water is anywhere near electrics, switch off at the consumer unit and don't touch wet switches. Move what you can out of the way, catch drips in buckets, and take a few photos for your insurer.
Emergencies we fix
Burst pipes and split joints, leaks you can't find or can't stop, overflowing toilets and blocked drains, leaking tanks and cylinders, failed stopcocks, and no water. For no heating or hot water, see emergency boiler repairs.

Frequently asked
Emergency plumber FAQs
How much does an emergency plumber cost in Kingston?
It depends on the fault and the time of the call. We give you the call-out price on the phone before we set off, and a fixed price for the repair before any work starts.
What actually counts as an emergency?
Water you can't stop, water near electrics, any smell of gas (call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 first), or no heating/hot water in genuinely cold weather with vulnerable people in the house. A slow drip or a single cold radiator can usually wait for a scheduled visit at standard rates.
Where is my stopcock?
Usually under the kitchen sink. In flats and older houses it can be in a hallway cupboard, under the stairs, or where the supply pipe enters the property. Turn it clockwise to close. If it is seized or you can't find it, call us and we'll talk you through the other options.
