Urgent call-out FAQs
What counts as a plumbing emergency in Edinburgh?
Burst pipes, major leaks, no heat in cold weather, sewage backing up, or anything that risks damage or leaves you without water — call and we’ll prioritise Edinburgh jobs.
How fast can you reach Edinburgh?
Emergencies are prioritised — often within a few hours depending on time of day and where our vans are. We’re regularly in Edinburgh and Leith and Musselburgh.
Should I turn the water off before you arrive?
If you can safely isolate at the stopcock, do — we’ll guide you on the phone if you’re unsure. That limits damage until we get to Edinburgh.
Do you handle gas emergencies?
Gas smells: ventilate, don’t switch electrics, call the gas emergency line if needed, then us for repair. Our engineers are Gas Safe for follow-up work in Edinburgh.
