Emergency Call-Outs
Hidden and slow leaks traced with moisture meters and pressure testing, so the repair stops the water rather than just drying out the stain.
A pipe that splits under a sink or in a loft needs shutting down fast. We isolate the burst, cut out the damaged section and keep the rest of the property on water while it is put right.
When the taps run dry before a night shift or an early Dieppe sailing, we establish quickly whether the problem sits in your pipework or on the water company's side of the boundary stopcock, then get the supply flowing again.
A yard gully overflowing or a sink that will not clear only gets worse with time. We rod or jet the run, find what caused it and check for the silt and root build-up common in the low-lying streets near the river.
A toilet that will not flush away in a flat over the shop parades soon becomes the neighbours' problem too. We clear the blockage, check the soil pipe and make sure the pan, seals and cistern work properly before we leave.
A tap that will not turn off, a dripping isolation valve or a weeping joint uncovered mid-renovation: we repair or replace the fitting properly and test it under pressure, not wrap it in tape and forget it.
Who We Are
Our Newhaven plumbing call-out service is available day and night when water turns up where it should not be. We'll talk through what you are seeing before attending and can tell you where to turn the water off and whether the boiler or immersion heater should be switched off for safety.
All repairs are carried out by qualified, fully insured plumbers using fittings suited to the job. Additional repairs are quoted or agreed separately, and written job information can be supplied for landlords, agents or insurers when required.
Common Call-Outs
These faults account for most of the calls we receive. Any of them is worth a telephone call, whatever the time of day.
Turn the water off at the stopcock, usually under the kitchen sink, then open the cold taps to drain what is left in the pipes. If hot water is leaking, switch off the boiler or immersion heater too.
Keep away from electrics if water is near them, and only switch off at the fuse box if you can reach it without touching anything wet. Put down towels, catch drips in a bucket and move valuables out of the way.
If a ceiling is bulging with water, do not stand underneath it. If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 before calling us.

Leak Detection
Water that appears on the ceiling of a Newhaven terrace rarely starts directly above the stain. We trace it back along the joists and pipe runs with moisture meters and pressure testing, so the repair stops the leak at its source rather than chasing the damp patch.
Read how we find leaks → BOOK LEAK DETECTIONWhat To Expect
Explain the problem when you call. A plumber answers rather than an answering service, at any hour.
A realistic arrival window and the attendance rate are both confirmed before anybody travels.
The water is isolated safely, then checks establish precisely where the leak or blockage sits.
The majority of jobs are repaired on the first visit, and anything unfinished is isolated and left watertight.
Send us a picture of the leak, the stopcock or the damage before we set off and the plumber arrives already carrying the right parts.
CALL 01273 086899Supply Problems
Water that keeps dropping out is a fault nobody has found yet. When it goes, and which taps it affects, written down, is worth more than any amount of guessing.
Fixing No Water And Low Pressure → 01273 086899When every tap is dry, the problem is at or before your stopcock: a closed or failed valve, a burst on the supply pipe, or work on the main in the street. We check the incoming supply first, because a mains outage and a failed stopcock look identical from the kitchen and lead to completely different work.
Low pressure across the whole flat usually points to a partly closed stopcock, a scaled-up valve or a leak somewhere on the supply pipe bleeding pressure away. Flats over the shops often share a supply, so we check whether the neighbours are affected before opening anything up.
A single dead tap rarely announces itself. An isolation valve has been knocked off, a cartridge has failed or debris has lodged in the fitting. We work back from the outlet, so the fix is a part rather than a section of pipework.
With cold running normally, the fault sits on the hot side: the boiler, the immersion heater, a cylinder valve or an airlock. We handle the plumbing side and will tell you straight away if a Gas Safe registered engineer is needed for the boiler itself.
Loud knocking as a tap or washing machine valve shuts is water hammer, and in older pipework it shakes joints loose over time. We check the pressure, clip loose runs and fit an arrestor or new valve where one is needed.
Most appliance leaks come from a split inlet hose, a failed valve or a blocked waste rather than the machine itself. We isolate it, find which one it is and repair the plumbing, so you are not paying for a new appliance on a guess.
We'd rather find the cause than keep turning the stopcock on and off for you. Anything that can't be completed on the day is isolated safely, with the rest of the property put back on water.

Who calls us
Three groups make up most of our Newhaven work, and each is dealt with on the same terms.
Domestic emergency plumbers for bursts, leaks, blocked toilets and lost water supply, out of hours included.
Landlord and agent repairs on rented property, with clear written records that can be passed straight to a tenant.
Commercial emergency attendance for shops, offices and units, including burst supply pipes, blocked washrooms and kitchen drains.
On The Job
We attend for tenants, owner-occupiers and letting agents, and are able to deal with whichever party is responsible without the occupier being left to chase anybody.
Access can be arranged directly with a tenant and the written outcome sent to the landlord or agent the same day, so that a repair does not stall while responsibility is established.
Beyond the town
The engineers who cover Newhaven carry straight on along the coast to Peacehaven and Seaford, and up the Ouse valley to Lewes. Whichever of the four you call from, you reach the crew already working nearest to you.
FAQ
Feel free to contact us for more information
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.
Commercial work is a core part of what we do in Newhaven, and units on the industrial estates are a regular call, from burst supply pipes to blocked washroom drains. Out of hours is exactly when a flooded unit hurts most, so the line runs 24 hours. We isolate the leak, make the building watertight and aim to get the rest of the unit working again on the same visit, with any larger repair quoted for daytime.
Yes. Leaks in Newhaven's converted houses and flats over the shops often start in a neighbouring property. We trace where the water is getting in, isolate your side where we can and give you a written note of what we found to pass to the neighbour, landlord or managing agent.
Salt air and valley damp shorten the life of exposed metal: outside taps, brass fittings, stopcock spindles and external pipework. Homes near the harbour and West Quay show it soonest. Warning signs worth acting on are green or white crust on joints, a stopcock that will not turn, and an outside tap that drips after closing. Caught early it is a cheap fix. Left alone it becomes the seized valve that will not shut off when a pipe bursts.
