Emergency Call-Outs
A Horsham leak can hide behind generations of alterations: an attic bathroom teed off an old landing pipe, a kitchen knocked through in the nineties. We trace the water until the actual source is found, not just the stain painted over.
In a town that catches early trains, a burst pipe at 6am is more than a nuisance. We isolate the supply, repair the split or failed joint and get the rest of the house back on water before you need to leave.
Cold taps running but the hot dead, or the whole house dry while the street has water: a supply problem usually means a failing valve or a restriction in the pipe. We trace it and repair it before it becomes a burst.
Water rising in the shower tray, a gully overflowing or a smell from the drains outside. Stop running water down it and call, as this one shouldn't wait.
East Street restaurants, Carfax shops and town-centre offices all rely on washrooms that only get noticed when they fail. We clear blocked pans, repair worn flush valves and check the cistern refills so the room is back in use.
Between new kitchens, bathroom refits and hard water wearing on every washer, Horsham's taps and valves see their share of leaks. We find the failed part, replace it and check the whole fitting holds before we leave.
Who We Are
Whether the water stops early in the morning or a leak develops late at night, our Horsham emergency plumbing service remains available. We can talk you through turning off the water over the phone and arrange a plumber when the problem needs prompt attention.
Repairs are undertaken by qualified, fully insured plumbers in line with current water regulations, and anything outside the agreed emergency work is discussed before it is started.
Common Call-Outs
The problems below account for the majority of our call-outs. Several of them are genuinely urgent, and a short telephone call will establish which category yours falls into.
If the stopcock can be reached safely, turn the water off and leave it off, then open the cold taps to drain the pipes. Switch off the boiler or immersion heater if it is hot water that is escaping.
Keep away from electrics if water is near them, and switch off at the fuse box only if it is safe to reach. Catch drips in bowls and buckets, and move valuables and furniture clear of the water.
If water is coming through a bulging ceiling, keep out from under it. If you smell gas, leave the building and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first, then telephone us once you are outside.

Leak Detection
A damp patch that keeps spreading, or a water meter that ticks over with every tap shut, still has a source. We trace it with moisture readings and pressure testing, so the repair goes where the water is actually escaping rather than where it happens to show.
Read how we find leaks → BOOK LEAK DETECTIONWhat To Expect
Describe the problem when you ring. A qualified plumber answers, including in the evening and at weekends.
You are told the call-out rate and given a realistic arrival window before a plumber travels.
The water is isolated safely, after which the cause is traced and the findings are explained to you.
Most repairs are completed the same visit. Where a part is needed, the water is made safe and a return agreed.
Snap the leak, the pipe or the blocked drain before you ring, and the plumber sets off with the right parts on the van instead of a best guess.
CALL 01273 086899Water Supply Problems
Most call-outs come down to one part of the system misbehaving rather than the whole house. Identifying which taps are affected does most of the diagnosis.
No Water & Low Pressure Explained → 01273 086899Check the stopcock under the sink first. If it is fully open and the house is still dry, the trouble is further back, in the supply pipe, the meter or the water main itself. We confirm that on site before anyone else is called out.
A gradual fall in pressure is usually a valve that has partly seized, scale building up in old pipe, or a slow leak somewhere on the supply drawing water off. A sudden drop is more often a burst nearby or work on the main. We start at the stopcock and work outwards.
An outside tap or a garage supply is normally fed by its own pipe from the house, often with a valve indoors that someone has turned off. Frost damage to an exposed run, a split under the path or a seized valve are the usual causes. We check that feed end to end.
There is always a reason, it is just a question of where. A failed immersion heater, a stuck motorised valve, an airlock or a boiler that has locked out can all leave the hot taps cold. We handle the plumbing side and tell you straight away if a Gas Safe registered engineer is needed.
Knocking when a tap closes is water hammer: water moving fast in pipework that is loosely clipped or under high pressure. Ticking as the heating warms up is pipe expanding against a joist or notch. Both can loosen joints over time. We secure the pipework before anything else.
Dishwashers fill and drain several times a cycle, so a split hose, a worn door seal or a blocked waste shows up quickly. If the water appears as it empties, look at the waste and the trap under the sink. We check the machine's connections and the waste separately.
Nothing gets guessed at. Whatever we find is isolated properly, and you'll be told plainly what has been repaired and what still needs putting right.

Who we work for
Three groups account for most of our Horsham attendance. The number and the level of service are the same for all of them.
Domestic emergency work for burst pipes, leaks, blocked toilets and drains and loss of water, including out of hours.
Landlord and letting agent repairs on rental property, documented so the record can be passed on without alteration.
Commercial cover for premises where closure is costly, including washrooms, kitchens, drains and water supplies.
How It Works
Once a repair is complete the pipework is checked under pressure and the work recorded, with a written summary of what was done provided rather than promised for a later date.
Where a landlord, letting agent or managing agent needs written confirmation of what was found and what was carried out, that is supplied without you having to request it more than once.
Also covered
Horsham anchors the northern half of our patch, and the engineers who cover it carry on to Crawley, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath & Burgess Hill on the same rota. Same number, same approach, wherever along that stretch you're calling from.
FAQ
Feel free to contact us for more information
Emergency work is about stopping water and removing danger, not altering the building, so isolating a leaking pipe or replacing a failed valve or tap like-for-like doesn't normally trigger listed building consent. Where a permanent repair would affect historic fabric, cutting into old plaster, lifting Horsham stone flags, disturbing timber panelling, we stop the leak first and flag what needs consent before anyone starts cutting. You get a dry, working house tonight and a proper plan for the rest.
Warranty cover and a live leak are two different problems. If water is coming through the ceiling at 11pm, the developer's aftercare line won't send anyone until office hours, so we come out, find the leaking joint or fitting, isolate it and get everything else back on. We write up exactly what we found and touched, which protects your warranty claim rather than voiding it. Anything that's genuinely a build defect, you then push back to the developer with evidence in hand.
Check your neighbours first. If the whole lane has lost water, it's likely the water company's main and they need to know, because no plumber can repair their pipe. If your house is the only one off, or some taps work and others don't, the problem is likely on your own supply pipe, a valve or a leak somewhere on a long rural run, and that's ours. If you're not sure, describe it on the phone and we'll tell you straight which call to make before you spend money on a call-out you don't need.
Yes. We run a 24 hour rota that covers evenings, weekends and bank holidays. Call and you get a real arrival window before anyone sets off, not a vague promise.
