Emergency Call-Outs
Two bungalows side by side in Peacehaven can hide completely different pipework, so we work from moisture readings and pressure tests rather than assumptions, and we don't stop at the first wet joint we see. The leak gets found and proven before we call the job done.
A split pipe in a loft or under the floor can empty a tank into the rooms below in minutes. We shut the supply down, replace the damaged section and keep the rest of the house on water while the repair is finished.
Whether the whole avenue has lost water or just your place, we establish quickly whether the fault sits on your pipework, on a supply run to an outbuilding, or on the water company's side, and tell you who fixes what.
Drains crack, silt up and catch roots, and in an older Peacehaven garden you can't assume what condition the pipe under the lawn is in. We clear the blockage and check the run so the cause is dealt with, not just the symptom.
The shops along the South Coast Road, care settings and family homes all depend on toilets that only prove their worth when they stop working. We clear blocked pans and soil pipes and repair failed cisterns and flush mechanisms properly.
A tap that will not turn off, a valve weeping after a dormer refit, a garden tap cracked by frost: we locate the fault, repair or replace the fitting, and test it before the water goes back on.
Who We Are
If something suddenly goes wrong with the plumbing at your Peacehaven property, you can contact our emergency service 24 hours a day. We'll assess the information you provide, offer immediate advice such as where to turn the water off, and arrange attendance based on how serious the problem is.
Our qualified, fully insured plumbers use fittings suited to the job and the property. Where the initial repair reveals further issues, we'll discuss them with you before undertaking anything outside the agreed job.
Common Call-Outs
Most of our call-outs concern one of the following. If you are unsure how urgent your own situation is, that is what the telephone call is for.
Shut the water off at the stopcock, usually found under the kitchen sink, and open the cold taps to empty the pipes. Switch off the boiler or immersion heater if hot water is involved.
Stay well away from electrics where water has reached them, and only switch off at the fuse box if you can do it safely from a dry spot. Catch drips, lay towels and move anything valuable out of the way.
If water is pooling in 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 before telephoning us.

Leak Detection
Peacehaven bungalows hide most of their pipework in the loft and under the floor, so a stain in one room can come from a joint several metres away. We trace the water back with moisture meters and pressure tests, so the repair fixes the leak rather than the mark it left.
Read how we find leaks → BOOK LEAK DETECTIONWhat To Expect
Describe the problem to us. A qualified plumber takes the call, day or night, weekends included.
The call-out rate and an honest arrival window are agreed with you before a plumber leaves.
The water is isolated first, then the pipework is checked until the cause can be identified and explained.
Most repairs are completed that visit. Anything requiring a part is made safe with a return arranged.
A picture of the leak, the damp patch or the stopcock helps us judge urgency and arrive carrying the right parts.
CALL 01273 086899Supply Trouble
A dry tap or a weak shower is a symptom, not the fault. Which outlets are affected, and whether it is hot, cold or both, sets the direction of the search.
Why Taps Run Dry → 01273 086899If every tap is dry and nothing has changed indoors, the loss is before your pipework: the main in the road, the boundary stopcock or the supply pipe. Checking the incoming supply is the first thing done on arrival.
Weak flow at every outlet points at the supply side: a partly closed stopcock, a scaled valve or a leak on the supply pipe under the garden. In homes with mixed-era pipework, an old lead or narrow section can also be to blame. We measure before we dig.
A single outlet failing while the rest run normally usually means a closed isolation valve, a worn cartridge or debris in the tap. It is common where a later extension was teed off older pipework. We check from the tap back to the last outlet working properly.
That points to the hot side: the immersion heater, the cylinder, a stuck valve or the boiler. We put right the plumbing side and will tell you straight away if a Gas Safe registered engineer is needed for anything on the boiler.
Knocking from the loft when taps close is water hammer or loose pipework, and both shake joints apart over time. We check the pressure, secure the runs and fit an arrestor or new valve where the noise starts.
Usually a split hose, a perished valve washer or a blocked waste rather than the machine itself. Testing the connections, then the drain, settles it before anyone pays for an appliance that was never the problem.
Nothing gets left leaking. If a full repair needs parts we can't source overnight, we isolate what's affected, get the rest of the house back on water, and come back to finish.
Why Choose Us
Committed to Quality and Care
Proudly serving our community with reliable, high-quality plumbing work you can count on.
Our qualified plumbers bring expertise, safety and precision to every single call.
We respect your time and budget, delivering results without delays or excuses.
Transparent, upfront quotes, with no hidden fees and no surprise out-of-hours mark-ups.
Evenings, weekends and bank holidays. The phone is answered when the leak actually happens.
Pipe, fittings, valves and drain rods carried as standard, so most emergency repairs are completed on the first visit.
Who calls us
Three groups account for most of the Peacehaven calls we attend. The service is the same for all of them.
Domestic emergency work for bursts, leaks, blocked toilets and lost water supply.
Rental property repairs for landlords and letting agents, reported clearly enough to forward without rewriting.
Commercial cover for premises that cannot afford to close, including washrooms, kitchens and supply leaks.
What We Fix
The call-out rate is given first, by telephone. The price for the repair follows on site, once the fault has been established rather than guessed at.
Nothing is added afterwards. Where the work turns out to extend beyond the emergency repair, that becomes a separate conversation with its own figure, held before any of it is carried out.
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.
Not automatically. Mixed-era pipework is normal in Peacehaven and much of it is perfectly sound. What matters is the condition of each section: old lead supply pipe, corroded galvanised steel or joints that keep weeping are genuine reasons to replace, and a proper inspection tells you which parts are sound and which are not, so you replace only what needs replacing.
Kinder than in most houses, honestly. With everything on one level most of the pipework runs through the loft or under the floor rather than through upstairs ceilings, so there is less lifting of boards and less mess. The awkward part in Peacehaven is often the loft itself, where deep insulation or boarding covers the runs, and we plan around that before starting.
Salt and wind are the culprits. Air coming straight off the Channel corrodes brass and copper fittings years ahead of their inland lifespan, and the exposed clifftop side of town freezes harder in a cold snap. When we replace exterior taps and pipework we fit frost-protected, corrosion-resistant fittings and lag the runs properly, which lasts far longer for a small extra cost.
