Emergency plumber Watford
Emergency plumber in Watford, 24 hours a day
For a burst pipe, a serious leak or an overflowing toilet in Watford, call 07585 776082 at any hour. Out-of-hours work is £70 an hour; between 8am and 5pm it is £60.
Burst pipes, leaks you can't isolate, overflowing toilets and drains backing up are all covered by the 24-hour call-out in Watford.
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 Watford
Blocked drains in Watford
Shaun clears blocked drains, toilets, sinks, baths and showers across Watford, 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.
Shaun clears blocked outside drains, toilets, kitchen sinks, baths and showers. If more than one plughole is slow at once, the blockage is usually in the main drain rather than a single pipe.
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.
