Emergency Plumber Redbourn

Find Your Stop Tap Before You Need It

When water is coming through a ceiling, every minute counts, so the first thing we do when you call is help you turn it off. Knowing where your stop tap is before an emergency saves the most damage. Stay on the line and we will talk you through it.

In Redbourn’s older cottages around the High Street and Church End, the stop tap is not always under the kitchen sink. It may be under the stairs, beneath a floorboard or outside under a small cover. Newer homes around Brooke End and Silk Mill usually have it under the sink.

Common village emergencies are burst pipes in lofts and on outside walls, ceiling leaks, failed float valves and boilers stopped by a frozen condensate pipe. We repair burst pipes and broken down boilers, often on the same visit.

What to Do Before Our Engineer Arrives

These steps limit the damage in most plumbing emergencies. If you plan to claim on your home insurance, take photos before clearing up and call your insurer once the water is off. After the repair we give you a written note of the cause and the work, which insurers usually ask for.

Close the Stop Tap: Turn it clockwise until it stops, then run the cold taps to drain the pipes. If it will not move, do not force it. Call us and we will talk you through the alternatives.
Isolate the Electrics: If water is near sockets, light fittings or the consumer unit, switch off that circuit at the fuse board, or the main switch if you are unsure.
Switch Off the Heating: If the leak is on the heating or hot water, turn off the boiler and any immersion heater so the system stops pushing water out.
Catch and Protect: Put buckets and towels under drips, move furniture and valuables, and stay clear of any ceiling that is sagging.
If You Smell Gas: Leave the property, do not use switches or flames, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.

Water Coming Through a Ceiling

Turn off the water and the electrics for that area. A sagging ceiling can give way without warning.

A Frozen or Burst Pipe

Split pipes in lofts, garages and on outside walls are most common after a hard frost, often as they thaw.

An Overflow That Keeps Running

Water from an overflow pipe or a cistern that will not stop filling, usually a float valve failed by limescale.

No Heating or Hot Water

A boiler that has locked out in freezing weather, often because its outside condensate pipe has frozen.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really happy with the work carried out by Alban Plumbing and Heating. They fitted several new radiators in my home and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. They arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and took great care while working in the house.
The installation was completed to a high standard, everything was left clean and tidy, and the new radiators look fantastic and heat up perfectly. It's refreshing to find a company that is reliable, communicates well, and clearly takes pride in their work.
I wouldn't hesitate to use Alban Plumbing and Heating again and would happily recommend them to friends and family.

The engineer arrived on time, quickly identified the problem, and explained everything clearly before carrying out the work. The job was completed to a high standard, and everything was left clean and tidy afterwards.

What stood out most was their professionalism, reliability, and honest approach. Communication was great throughout, and the pricing was fair with no unexpected surprises.

I would highly recommend Alban Plumbing and Heating Ltd to anyone in St Albans and the surrounding areas looking for a trustworthy plumbing and heating company. I will definitely use them again in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Asif has done a great job looking after our plumbing and heating for several years now. He also recently attended in under an hour to fix an emergency leak that he and his son sorted with great efficiency allowing us to get back to work and continue operating with minimal disruption to our business and patients. He’s reasonably priced and friendly and I’m sure we will be using him for many years to come.  His 5 star status is well deserved.

Emergency Plumber Redbourn: Your Questions

Where is the stop tap in an older Redbourn cottage?

Try under the kitchen sink first, then under the stairs, near the front door, in a downstairs cloakroom or beneath a floorboard close to where the supply comes in. Outside, look for a small cover near the front boundary. If you cannot find it, call us and we will talk you through it while an engineer is on the way.

Should I turn the water off if I am away in winter?

If the house will be empty during a cold spell, either leave the heating on a low setting or turn off the stop tap and drain the cold taps. Lagging pipes in the loft, garage and on outside walls, and isolating the outside tap, removes the most common causes of a winter burst.

What if the leak is coming from next door?

Turn off your own water and any electrics near the leak, then let your neighbour know straight away. If nobody is home and water is coming through a shared wall or ceiling, call us, and your landlord or agent if you rent. We will tell you what you can safely do in the meantime.

How much does an emergency plumber cost?

It depends on the time of day and what has gone wrong. We tell you the call-out charge on the phone before anyone sets off, and agree the price of the repair before we start it, so the invoice holds no surprises.

Will my home insurance cover a burst pipe?

Many policies cover escape of water and the cost of tracing a hidden leak, though often not the repair to the pipe itself. Take photos before you clear up and call your insurer once the water is off. We give you a written note of the cause and the repair, which most insurers ask for.

Which parts of Redbourn do you cover?

The whole of Redbourn in AL3, including Church End, the Common, the High Street, Monks Close, Brooke End and Silk Mill.
