Types of Burst Pipe We Repair
Whatever caused the burst we can repair it and get your water back on safely.
Frozen Pipe Burst
Water freezes inside pipes in cold weather, expands and splits the pipe. When the ice thaws water gushes from the split. Common in lofts, garages and external pipe runs. We isolate and repair the burst section.
Pressure Surge Burst
A sudden surge in mains water pressure can split old or weakened pipework. We fit a pressure reducing valve after the repair to protect against future surges.
Corrosion Burst
Old copper and iron pipework corrodes from the inside over decades. Eventually the weakened wall splits under normal water pressure. We replace the corroded section properly.
Joint Failure Burst
A failed soldered joint, compression fitting or push fit connector can blow apart, especially on pressurised systems. We remake the joint with new fittings.
Impact Damage Burst
A nail, screw, floorboard nail or drill bit through a pipe can cause an immediate or slow developing leak. We trace the damaged section, cut it out and replace it.
Central Heating Burst
A burst radiator, failed radiator valve or blown central heating pipe. We drain the affected section, repair or replace the burst component and refill the system.

Burst Pipe FAQs
What to do when a pipe bursts and how we fix it
What should I do if a pipe bursts right now?
Turn off your main stopcock immediately to stop the water. Open all cold taps to drain the pipework. Turn off your central heating and immersion heater. If water is near electrics turn off the mains at the consumer unit. Then call us on 0330 043 3748.
How quickly can you attend a burst pipe?
We aim to be with you within an hour for burst pipe emergencies across our coverage area. We prioritise burst pipes because of the water damage risk. We will give you an estimated arrival time when you call.
Will the burst pipe repair be permanent?
Yes. We cut out the burst section and replace it with new pipe and proper fittings. We pressure test the repair before restoring water. It is a permanent fix, not a temporary patch.
Can frozen pipes be prevented?
Yes. Insulate pipework in lofts, garages and outside. Keep your heating on low during cold spells. Leave loft hatches open to let warm air circulate. Know where your stopcock is so you can turn it off quickly.
Will my insurance cover a burst pipe?
Most home insurance policies cover escape of water from pipes and tanks including the resulting damage. We can provide a detailed report for your insurer. Check your policy excess and cover limits.
Do you repair central heating burst pipes too?
Yes. A burst heating pipe, radiator or valve is just as urgent. We drain the affected section, make the repair, refill and add inhibitor. We check the boiler pressure and look for other weak points.
