Emergency Plumber Welwyn Garden City

Stop the Water First, Then Fix the Cause

In a plumbing emergency, the first ten minutes decide how much damage is done. That is why the first thing we do when you call is help you stop the water, before an engineer even sets off.

In newer houses the stop tap is usually under the kitchen sink. In many older Garden City houses it is under the stairs, below a floorboard by the front door or boxed into a cupboard, and in some older terraces the outside stop tap is shared with neighbours. In flats, look for an isolation valve and call your managing agent too.

The emergencies we see most are burst pipes in lofts and on outside walls, ceiling leaks, overflows caused by float valves that have failed in the hard water, and boilers that stop on a cold night. We repair burst pipes and broken down boilers.

What to Do While We Are on the Way

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

Turn Off the Water: Close the stop tap, then open the cold taps to drain water out of the pipes.
Switch Off the Electrics: If water is near sockets, lights or the consumer unit, turn off the electricity for that area at the fuse board.
Turn Off the Heating: If the leak is on the heating or hot water, switch off the boiler and any immersion heater.
Contain and Protect: Put buckets under drips, move valuables and lift rugs. If a ceiling is bulging, keep clear of it.
If You Smell Gas: Leave the property, do not use switches or flames, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.

Call Us Straight Away If You Have

Do not wait until the morning with any of these. Call 07342 171269.

Water Through a Ceiling

Turn off the water and the electrics for that area, then call. A bulging ceiling can come down without warning.

A Burst or Split Pipe

Water spraying or pooling from pipework, often in lofts or on outside walls after a frost.

An Overflow That Will Not Stop

Water running from an overflow pipe or a cistern that keeps filling, usually a failed float valve.

Hot Water From the Cylinder Pipe

Hot water discharging near the cylinder means its safety valve has operated. Switch off the heat source and call.

 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.

 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 Welwyn Garden City: Your Questions

I cannot find my stop tap. What should I do?

Check under the kitchen sink, under the stairs, near the front door and in any cupboards along the front of the house. Outside, look for a small cover in the front garden or pavement. If you still cannot find it, call us and we will talk you through it while an engineer is on the way.

Does my outside stop tap affect my neighbours?

It can. In some older terraces the supply pipe is shared between houses, so the outside stop tap may cut off more than one home. Use your inside stop tap where you can, and let your neighbours know if you have to use the outside one.

Water is leaking into the flat below. What should I do?

Turn off your isolation valve or stop tap, switch off electrics near the leak and contact your managing agent or building manager. Then call us. If the leak is coming from the flat above and nobody is home, call the managing agent first, as they may be able to isolate the supply to that flat.

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 when you call, before anyone sets off, and agree the price of the repair before we start it. There are no surprises on the invoice.

Will my home insurance cover the damage?

Many policies cover escape of water and the cost of tracing a hidden leak. Take photos before you clear up and call your insurer once the water is stopped. We give you a written report of the cause and repair, which most insurers ask for.

Which areas of Welwyn Garden City do you cover?

All of AL7 and AL8, including Handside, Peartree, Hollybush, Panshanger, Haldens, Woodhall, Digswell and the town centre.
