Emergency Plumbing Call-Outs in Telford
Plumbing emergencies rarely happen at a convenient time. A serious leak can damage flooring, ceilings, electrics, kitchens and other parts of the property surprisingly quickly.
If the problem requires urgent attendance, contact us and explain what is happening. We will tell you whether we are able to attend and what you should do while waiting.
Emergency availability depends on engineer availability and the location and nature of the job. Out-of-hours attendance is available, but is not guaranteed until we have confirmed the call-out with you.
Emergency Plumbing Problems We Attend
Typical urgent plumbing and heating problems we may attend include:
- Burst pipes
- Major water leaks
- Leaking heating pipework
- Leaking radiators or valves
- Boiler-related water leaks
- Overflowing tanks or cisterns
- Failed isolation valves
- Heating-system leaks causing property damage
- Loss of water caused by an internal plumbing fault
- Urgent plumbing faults requiring isolation or temporary repair
If you are unsure whether the problem counts as an emergency, call us and describe what is happening.
Emergency Call-Out Charges
We believe emergency pricing should be clear before an engineer attends.
Our current emergency call-out charge is:
£150 + VAT, including the first hour on site.
Additional labour is charged at:
£50 per additional half hour.
Materials and replacement parts are charged separately where required.
If additional work is required beyond the initial attendance, we will explain the situation and the likely additional cost before proceeding where practical.
Payment Is Required Before We Attend
Emergency call-outs require payment of the initial call-out charge in advance.
Once we have confirmed that an engineer is available to attend, we will provide our bank details and ask you to transfer the initial call-out payment before the engineer travels to the property.
Attendance is not confirmed until the advance payment has been received.
The advance payment covers the initial emergency call-out and first hour on site. Any additional labour, materials or parts required will be charged separately.
This policy helps us avoid wasted emergency journeys and allows us to prioritise customers who genuinely require urgent attendance.
Out-of-Hours Emergency Plumbing
Our normal business hours are shown on this website, but we also offer an out-of-hours emergency call-out service.
If you need urgent assistance outside normal working hours, call us. If an engineer is available, we will confirm the call-out, explain the applicable charges and provide payment details before attendance.
Out-of-hours availability cannot be guaranteed, so please do not assume an engineer is on the way until we have confirmed the booking directly with you.
What To Do Before the Emergency Plumber Arrives
If water is escaping and you can safely do so, isolate the water supply to the affected area or turn off the property’s main stop tap.
If water is leaking close to electrical equipment, sockets, lighting or the consumer unit, avoid touching electrical equipment in the affected area.
Move furniture and possessions away from the leak where it is safe to do so and use towels, containers or other suitable means to limit water spread.
If you are unsure what to isolate, call us and explain what you can see before taking action.
Boiler Leaks and Heating Emergencies
Some plumbing emergencies originate from the boiler or heating system.
If the boiler is leaking, repeatedly losing pressure or has caused a significant water leak, we can assess whether the immediate problem is plumbing-related or requires boiler fault diagnosis.
For non-emergency boiler faults, visit our Boiler Repair Telford page.
Gas Emergencies
A suspected gas leak is different from a normal plumbing emergency.
If you smell gas or suspect an uncontrolled gas escape, follow the official gas emergency procedure rather than waiting for a routine plumbing appointment.
Once the immediate emergency has been dealt with, CombiCert can assist with relevant gas and heating repairs where appropriate.
For general gas and heating work, see our Gas Engineer Telford page.

Is It a Plumbing Emergency? A Quick Guide for Telford Homes
Not every leak needs an emergency call-out, and knowing the difference can save you money. As a rough guide:
Treat it as urgent if:
- water is coming through a ceiling or a light fitting
- a pipe has burst or split and you cannot isolate it
- water is reaching sockets, the consumer unit or other electrics
- a boiler or heating leak is damaging floors or ceilings
- the stop tap will not turn off, or you cannot find it
It can usually wait for a booked visit if: a tap is dripping, a slow drip under a sink can be caught in a bowl, a toilet cistern keeps running, or a radiator is cold at the top and just needs bleeding.
If you smell gas
A suspected gas leak is not a job to wait for a plumber. Do this straight away:
- Open doors and windows.
- Do not use light switches, plugs, doorbells or anything that could cause a spark, and do not smoke or use a naked flame.
- Turn the gas off at the emergency control valve next to the meter, if you can reach it safely.
- Leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
- If anyone feels dizzy, sick or has a headache, get them into fresh air and seek medical advice.
Once the emergency service has made the supply safe, a Gas Safe engineer needs to find and repair the fault. If you have been told your pipework needs work, our gas pipe check in Telford explains what we test.
How to reach us
Call 07393 220 694 and tell us your postcode, what is leaking and where, whether you have managed to turn the water off and, if the boiler is involved, its make and any fault code. Photos sent to hello@combicert.co.uk help, but for anything urgent please ring rather than email. For boiler faults that are not leaking, see our boiler repair in Telford page.
Emergency Plumber Telford FAQs
Do you offer out-of-hours emergency call-outs?
We offer an out-of-hours emergency call-out service in addition to our normal working hours. Availability depends on engineer availability, so attendance must be confirmed directly with us.
How much is an emergency plumber in Telford?
Our current emergency call-out charge is £150 + VAT, including the first hour on site. Additional labour is charged at £50 per additional half hour, with materials and parts charged separately where required.
Do I have to pay before you attend?
Yes. The initial emergency call-out charge must be paid in advance. Once attendance has been confirmed, we will provide bank details and the engineer will attend after the payment has been received.
What should I do if I have a burst pipe?
If it is safe to do so, turn off the water supply using the nearest isolation valve or the property’s main stop tap and move possessions away from escaping water. Then call us and explain where the leak is located.
Can you repair a leaking boiler?
Often, yes. The cause may be inside the boiler or elsewhere in the heating system. We can assess the immediate leak and determine whether boiler fault diagnosis or plumbing repair is required.
Will the emergency call-out price include parts?
No. The initial call-out includes the first hour of labour. Parts and materials are charged separately where required.
Can you attend outside Telford?
Sometimes. Our core emergency area is Telford and nearby locations. Wider attendance depends on engineer availability, travel time and the nature of the emergency.
What number do I call if I smell gas in Telford?
Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Open windows, avoid switches and naked flames, turn the gas off at the meter if it is safe to do so and leave the property. Do not wait for a plumber or gas engineer to arrive first.
Is a dripping tap or a slow leak an emergency?
Usually not. If a bowl or towel can contain it and it is nowhere near electrics, book a normal visit rather than paying for an emergency call-out. If it is getting worse or you cannot isolate it, call us.
Where is my stop tap?
In most homes the main stop tap is under the kitchen sink, but it can be in a downstairs toilet, utility room, airing cupboard or near the front door. It is worth finding it and checking it turns before you ever need it.
What should I tell you when I call about a leak?
Your postcode, what is leaking and where, whether the water is off, and the boiler make and fault code if the boiler is involved. Photos by email to hello@combicert.co.uk help us come prepared.
