Emergency Call-Outs
The problems we get called out to most, day and night. If yours isn't listed, ring us anyway. We'll tell you straight away whether it needs a plumber tonight or can wait until morning.
Hidden leaks under floors, behind walls and in ceilings traced with proper detection equipment, so the repair fixes the cause rather than the damp patch.
A split pipe pouring water, a failed joint or a pipe nailed through during building work. We get the water stopped and the pipe repaired.
Taps running dry across the house, or a trickle where there should be a flow. We find where the supply stops and get it running again.
Sinks that won't empty, gurgling plugholes or a manhole backing up outside. Stop running water into it and call, this one shouldn't wait.
A toilet that won't flush away, water rising to the rim, or the only toilet in the house out of action. We clear it and find out why it blocked.
A tap that won't turn off, a dripping isolation valve, or a leak under the sink soaking the cupboard. We isolate, repair and test for leaks.
Who We Are
Fast Fix started with one van and one rule: nobody stands in a puddle waiting on a callback. Today we run a full emergency fleet backed by qualified plumbers, stocked vans and a phone line that's answered around the clock.
You get the responsiveness of a local firm with the qualifications, insurance and know-how of a much larger contractor, on domestic call-outs and commercial plumbing alike.
Sound Familiar?
These are the calls we take most often. Any of them is worth a phone call, and several of them shouldn't wait until morning.
Turn off the water at the stopcock, usually under the kitchen sink. If hot water is leaking, switch off the boiler or immersion heater, then open the cold taps to drain the system down.
Keep away from electrics if water is near them, catch drips in buckets and move valuables out of the way. If water is coming through a ceiling that is bulging, do not stand under it.
If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999.

Leak Detection
A damp patch rarely sits directly below the leak causing it. We trace the water back to its source with proper detection equipment, section by section, so the repair fixes what's actually wrong rather than lifting floors on a guess.

Tell us what's happening. A real plumber picks up, evenings, weekends and bank holidays included.
You get a realistic arrival window and our call-out rate up front, before anyone sets off.
Water isolated first, then a proper look to find the actual cause, explained to you in plain English.
Stocked vans fix most problems on the first visit. Anything we can't finish that night is isolated and made safe.
No Water?
Whether it's the whole property or a single tap, the cause is usually traceable. Here's what we look for at a glance.
See how we diagnose it → 01273 086899Nothing from any tap. We check whether the supply has failed in the street or inside your property.
Water arrives as a trickle. Often a part-closed or failing stopcock, a hidden leak or a furred-up pipe.
A single tap, toilet or shower with no flow, often a closed isolation valve or a blocked filter.
Cold from the hot tap. We check the cylinder, immersion heater and pipework, and the plumbing side of the boiler.
Knocking or hammering when taps close usually points to loose pipework, high pressure or a worn valve.
A washing machine, dishwasher or water softener leaking is often a split hose or a failed valve, not the pipework.
Whatever the cause, we aim to diagnose it and get the water under control as quickly as possible. Where a full repair needs parts or daylight, we'll restore everything we safely can and book the follow-up before we leave.

TALK TO A PLUMBERDrains & Toilets
Two of the most common emergency call-outs, and two of the ones people most often try to live with. A drain that keeps gurgling or a toilet that is slow to clear is telling you something.
Stop running water into the drain until we've had a look.
Don't keep flushing a toilet that is already filling up.
