What to Do While You Wait for the Plumber
- Turn off the water at the stop tap (usually under the kitchen sink)
- Turn off your boiler if there's a major leak near the heating system
- Open taps to drain remaining water from the pipes
- Contain water with towels and bowls
- Take photos of the damage for insurance purposes
- Call your home insurance — many emergencies are covered
Checking a Plumber's Credentials
- Gas Safe registered — essential for any gas work (verify at gassaferegister.co.uk)
- CIPHE (Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering) member
- Public liability insurance
💡 Pro Tip: Ask for a fixed price quote rather than hourly where possible. For clearly defined jobs, a fixed price protects you from time overruns.
