Emergency plumber in Harpenden, 24 hours a day
For a burst pipe, a serious leak or an overflowing toilet in Harpenden, call 07585 776082 at any hour. Out-of-hours work is £70 an hour; between 8am and 5pm it is £60.
If water is coming through a ceiling or a pipe has burst in Harpenden, turn off the stopcock and call: the call-out runs 24 hours.
While you wait
- Turn off the water at the stopcock. It is usually under the kitchen sink, sometimes in a downstairs cloakroom or where the supply pipe enters the house.
- If water is near light fittings or sockets, keep clear and do not touch wet switches.
- Open the cold taps to drain the pipes, and move valuables away from the leak.

Blocked drains in Harpenden
Shaun clears blocked drains, toilets, sinks, baths and showers across Harpenden, charged at the same hourly rates. A drain overflowing outside or a toilet that won't flush is covered by the 24-hour call-out.
Slow sinks, toilets that won't clear and outside drains that overflow in heavy rain are all jobs Shaun handles. He clears the blockage and tells you if there is an underlying fault.
Signs to call sooner rather than later: water rising in the toilet when you flush, gurgling from plugholes, a bad smell from outside drains, or water pooling around an inspection cover.
