From a burst pipe at 2am to a cylinder pouring water through the kitchen ceiling, these are the Cranleigh emergencies our engineers deal with every week.
Older lead and iron supply pipes in Cranleigh's period houses crack with age and frost. We isolate the supply, cut out the damaged section and make it watertight.
Traced to the source, from a pipe joint, a bath, a shower tray or a tank in the loft, before the plaster gives way.
We check whether it is the mains supply to your part of Cranleigh or your own pipework, and fix what is ours to fix.
Seized, snapped or leaking stopcocks and stop valves freed or replaced, so you can turn the water off again.
Leaking hot water cylinders, unvented cylinders discharging through the tundish and loft tanks overflowing, made safe.
Cisterns that will not stop filling, leaking toilet pans and overflows pouring down the outside wall.
Pipes in lofts, garages and outside walls that freeze and split in a cold snap, thawed safely and repaired.
Boiler breakdowns in cold weather treated as urgent. See boiler repairs or heating in Cranleigh.
Verified Checkatrade reviews from plumbing call-outs across Cranleigh and the surrounding postcodes. Many were left under our previous name, CGR Plumbing & Heating: same engineers, new name.
CheckatradeCGR were rectifying the waste piping for under our kitchen sink, and also removing the waste for our previous water softener. Very happy with their knowledge, quality of work, customer service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services. Also a huge bonus to have a 30 day guarantee on the works provided.
He is a polite and knowledgeable tradesman. He communicates clearly and executes the job as planned and agreed.
My shower pressure suddenly fell very low. I called CGR and they came to fix the problem. Not even a day later and my shower was fixed. Thank you for your quick and very professional service.
We always call them as they are reliable and honest.
When water is coming through a ceiling in Cranleigh, the last thing you want is a national call centre passing your job to whoever is free. We are a family-run plumbing and heating company based in Guildford, and when you ring 0333 054 0046 you speak to the engineers who will actually come out. Twenty-five minutes south-east of Guildford. Cranleigh is about 7 miles from our base in Guildford, so we already know the roads, the housing and the usual problems before we arrive.
We cover every Cranleigh postcode we list here (GU6), including Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranleigh village and Alfold and the streets in between. Village housing around the high street, substantial detached property on the surrounding lanes, and a fair amount of newer estate development. That mix matters in an emergency, because a burst pipe in a period terrace behaves very differently from a leak in a new-build or a flat.
Our engineers are Gas Safe registered, carry the common fittings for Cranleigh's housing on the van, and aim to make every emergency safe on the first visit. Once the water is under control we explain in plain English what failed, what needs doing properly and what can wait. The decision is always yours, with no pressure.
These take a minute and limit the damage while we are on the way to you in Cranleigh.
Then photograph the damage for your insurer and move anything valuable away from the water. If you cannot find or turn the stopcock, ring us and we will talk you through the usual hiding places while we are on our way.
The housing in Cranleigh is mostly Victorian and Edwardian houses, and that shapes what goes wrong. The emergency call-outs we get most often here are:
Alongside that there are plenty of newer and modern homes, where the usual culprits are different: plastic push-fit joints that let go when a pipe is knocked or a floor is lifted, and washing machine and dishwasher hoses that split under the kitchen units.
Knowing that before we arrive means the van carries the right fittings for Cranleigh, and most emergencies are made safe on the first visit rather than the second.
Twenty-five minutes south-east of Guildford. So when you ring we can usually tell you straight away who is nearest and how long they will be. Same day for emergencies where we can.
We cover every part of Cranleigh, including Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranleigh village and Alfold.
If yours can safely wait, we will tell you so on the phone and book you in at a sensible time.
Cranleigh is about 7 miles from our base in Guildford. Same day for emergencies where we can. When you ring we give you a realistic arrival time rather than a comforting one, and if we cannot reach you in time to help, we say so straight away.
In a lot of Victorian and Edwardian houses the stopcock is not under the kitchen sink at all. Look under the floorboards just inside the front door, in the cellar, or in the front room close to the front wall. Old brass stopcocks are often stiff or seized. If it will not turn by hand, do not lean on it with a wrench, because a snapped spindle turns a leak into a flood. Use the outside stop valve at the boundary instead, or ring us.
