Pipe burst under the sink at 11pm flooding the kitchen. Called and they arrived within 25 minutes. Fixed it quickly, cleaned up after themselves and the price was exactly what they quoted on the phone. Cannot fault them at all.

Boiler packed in the middle of winter with no heating or hot water. They had an engineer here in 20 minutes, diagnosed the problem and had us back up and running within the hour. Fair pricing and absolutely professional throughout.

Blocked Drains Liverpool. Same Day Unblocking.

Blocked toilet, blocked sink, shower backing up or drain overflowing. We clear all types of drain blockage across Liverpool same day.

Blocked toilet Liverpool

Stop flushing and call us immediately. Continued flushing will overflow sewage onto your floor. We attend blocked toilet emergencies 24/7 across Liverpool. Most resolved on the same visit using professional clearing equipment.

Blocked sink and bath drain

Kitchen sink not draining, bathroom sink backing up, bath water sitting. We clear sink and bath blockages using professional equipment. Cooking fat and hair build-up are the most common causes in Liverpool properties.

Sewer and external drain blockage

Liverpool's Victorian sewer system is one of the oldest in England. Tree roots growing into clay sewer pipes are extremely common across Aigburth, Sefton Park, Woolton and areas with mature trees. We identify the cause and clear the blockage correctly.

Sewage overflow

Sewage backing up into the toilet or bath is a health emergency requiring immediate attention. Call us 24/7 on 07399 676656. We attend sewage overflow emergencies as a priority. Do not attempt to clean up sewage without protective equipment.

Try This First. Free Liverpool Plumbing Fault Guide

These steps resolve around 30% of plumbing problems without needing a call-out.

1
Find Your Stopcock

In most Liverpool properties it is under the kitchen sink, in a hallway cupboard or under the stairs. Victorian terraces often have it in the cellar or near the front door. Turn it clockwise to stop all water.

2
Check Your Boiler Pressure

If your boiler shows a fault code or you have no hot water, check the pressure gauge. It should read between 1 and 1.5 bar. Below 0.5 bar you can repressurise using the filling loop.

3
Check Your Neighbours

If you have no water or heating, check whether your neighbours are affected. If they are, it is a United Utilities network fault. Call 0345 672 3723.

If you smell gas at any point, stop immediately and call Cadent Gas Emergency on 0800 111 999. Do not attempt any checks yourself.

Frozen Pipes in Liverpool. What to Do.

Liverpool winters cause hundreds of frozen pipe emergencies every year. Many could be prevented.

How to Spot a Frozen Pipe

Act fastBefore it bursts

No water from taps in freezing weather. Frost visible on an exposed pipe. Bulging or discolouration on a pipe section. A frozen pipe that has not yet burst can often be thawed safely. Call us immediately before it splits.

Which Liverpool Properties Are Most at Risk?

Victorian terracesOld stock risk

Liverpool's Victorian and Edwardian terraces frequently have external or loft pipes that were never insulated to modern standards. Properties with pipes running through unheated spaces are most vulnerable in cold snaps.

Frozen Pipe Prevention

Free adviceBefore winter hits

Lag all exposed pipes in lofts, garages and cellar entries before winter. Keep your heating on a low background temperature even when away. Know where your stopcock is before an emergency happens.

If your pipe has already burst

Turn off your stopcock immediately, turn on all taps to drain remaining water and call us on 07399 676656. We respond 24/7 across all Liverpool postcodes.

Stop flushing immediately. Continued flushing will overflow sewage onto the floor. Turn off the water supply to the toilet at the isolation valve on the pipe behind it if possible. Call us on 07399 676656. Do not use chemical drain cleaners as these are rarely effective on full blockages and can damage older Liverpool pipework.
