Your answer will appear here
Pick an option for each question.
Call now, and keep away from the electrics
Turn off the water at the stopcock if you can reach it safely. Do not touch switches, sockets or light fittings that are wet. Call 07585 776082 for the 24-hour call-out.
Treat this as an emergency
Turn off the water at the stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink) and catch what you can in buckets and towels. Then call 07585 776082: the call-out runs 24 hours.
Urgent, but you can make it safe first
Without a working toilet, water supply or with a drain backing up, most people want it fixed today. Call 07585 776082. If it can hold until 8am, the daytime rate of £60 an hour applies instead of £70.
It can probably wait for a daytime visit
Nothing is escaping and you still have water and a toilet, so book a visit between 8am and 5pm at £60 an hour. Send a message or call 07585 776082.
