Plumbing emergencies we cover here in Frimley

From a burst pipe at 2am to a cylinder pouring water through the kitchen ceiling, these are the Frimley emergencies our engineers deal with every week.

Burst and split pipes

Thin microbore pipe, common in Frimley's post-war homes, splits and pinholes. We isolate the supply, cut out the damaged section and make it watertight.

Leaks through ceilings

Traced to the source, from a pipe joint, a bath, a shower tray or a tank in the loft, before the plaster gives way.

No water at all

We check whether it is the mains supply to your part of Frimley or your own pipework, and fix what is ours to fix.

Stopcocks that will not turn

Seized, snapped or leaking stopcocks and stop valves freed or replaced, so you can turn the water off again.

Cylinders and loft tanks

Leaking hot water cylinders, unvented cylinders discharging through the tundish and loft tanks overflowing, made safe.

Toilets and overflows

Cisterns that will not stop filling, leaking toilet pans and overflows pouring down the outside wall.

Frozen pipes

Pipes in lofts, garages and outside walls that freeze and split in a cold snap, thawed safely and repaired.

No heating or hot water

Boiler breakdowns in cold weather treated as urgent. See boiler repairs or heating in Frimley.

Your local emergency plumber in Frimley

When water is coming through a ceiling in Frimley, 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. Frimley is about 9 miles from our base in Guildford, so we already know the roads, the housing and the usual problems before we arrive.

We cover every Frimley postcode we list here (GU16), including Frimley Green, Mytchett and Frimley Park and the streets in between. Mostly twentieth-century family housing, with a good deal of 1960s and 1970s stock and newer estates around Frimley Green and Mytchett. 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 Frimley'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.

Frimley Green has a conservation area around the green itself. In listed and conservation properties we lift boards and work through existing openings wherever we can, rather than cutting into original features, and we always tell you before we touch anything.

Stop the damage first: three things to do now

These take a minute and limit the damage while we are on the way to you in Frimley.

  1. Turn the water off at the stopcock. In most homes built between the war and the 1980s the stopcock is under the kitchen sink. In some 1960s and 1970s houses it is in the garage, a downstairs cloakroom or behind a panel in the utility. Clear the cupboard, find it, and turn it clockwise until it stops.
  2. If water is near electrics, switch off at the consumer unit. Water and wiring is the part of a leak that can actually hurt somebody. Do not touch anything wet while the power is on.
  3. Open the cold taps downstairs. It drains the pipework and takes the pressure off the leak. If the water is coming from the loft, flush the toilets too.

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.

Plumbing emergencies we see in Frimley homes

The housing in Frimley is mostly post-war and 1960s to 1980s homes, and that shapes what goes wrong. The emergency call-outs we get most often here are:

  • Thin microbore heating pipe that splits or develops pinhole leaks
  • Loft tanks and ball valves reaching the end of their life
  • Pipes in unheated garages, lofts and outside walls that freeze and split in a cold snap
  • Waste pipes and joints under kitchens and bathrooms that have been disturbed by later refits

And in Frimley's newer and modern homes

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 Frimley, and most emergencies are made safe on the first visit rather than the second.

How quickly can you get to an emergency in Frimley?

Frimley is about 9 miles from our base in Guildford. Same day for emergencies. 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.

Where is the stopcock in a Frimley home?

In most homes built between the war and the 1980s the stopcock is under the kitchen sink. In some 1960s and 1970s houses it is in the garage, a downstairs cloakroom or behind a panel in the utility. Clear the cupboard, find it, and turn it clockwise until it stops.

Which parts of Frimley do you cover?

Do you cover Frimley at night and at weekends?

Yes, for genuine emergencies such as a burst pipe, water through a ceiling or no water at all. Ring 0333 054 0046 and it reaches us out of hours. If your problem can safely wait until the next working day, we will tell you honestly.

Will my home insurance help?

Often, under escape of water. Photograph the damage before anything is cleaned up and keep the paperwork we give you, because insurers usually ask for both. We can describe the cause in writing if your insurer needs it.

Do you also cover Camberley, Bagshot and Lightwater?

Yes. We cover eighteen towns around Guildford for emergency plumbing, including Camberley, Bagshot and Lightwater. Pick your town on our emergency plumbing page, or simply ring and tell us your postcode.
