When a leak starts spouting, or a drain is blocked, or the hot water simply isn’t, the last thing you want is to have to wait for a plumber to arrive. In an urgent plumbing scenario, often the longer you wait, the worse things get.
Plumbing emergencies wait for no-one. They can cause massive problems at the most annoying time, which is why you require an emergency plumber you can trust to be there when you phone. We will respond and get there fast, no matter what time of day it is.
No matter what the time is, phone us and our 24 Hour plumbers will respond straight away. We’ll be there quickly, and resolve your Forest Hill emergency plumbing issues efficiently and speedily so your home can get back to usual.
We have been serving Forest Hill for years, and our specially trained plumbers have the knowledge, parts and equipment to resolve all kinds of plumbing issues quickly and efficiently. We will even tidy up any mess we make before we leave.
As well as emergency plumbing, we also do every day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, call or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to assist you.
Safety first! Electricity and water do not mix well, so turn the power off at the breaker box if needed first.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff tap to stop all the water to the residence.
Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. We will be there rapidly to resolve the problem.
While you wait, start wiping up any water, put a bucket to catch drips, and remove significant possessions from the area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
The main shutoff valve will normally be on the border of your property close to the road. It is typically set into the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.
When your pipes are overflowing, you need help right now. Our emergency Forest Hill plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging clogged pipes can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.
Blocked pipes can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Whether it’s the laundry sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Forest Hill plumbers will efficiently identify the problem and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we need available to fix almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that needs extra equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are concluded.
If you've got a plunger, it's worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We recommend using a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can cause damage to your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
We usually take our hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Deperately want a good soak to warm up after a freezing day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to deal with? It’s a pain to have a good wash when the water is not hot.
When the hot water isn’t up to standard, you need it repaired as fast as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can quickly diagnose the issue and get it resolved.
Hot water leaks can swiftly put the power bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted fast, it can become more expensive by the day.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Forest Hill emergency plumbers right away. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick the best option for your budget, requirements and location. If your whole hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can arrange to do that in a opportune fashion as well.
From the small clean water pipes in the floor, walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You never even think of them until there is a problem.
Usually, we barely even think about them until something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s usually a serious problem that needs to be fixed immediately before your home, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.
As soon as you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers right away. Our team are waiting to assist Forest Hill residents right away. While you are waiting for us to get there, it may be useful to turn off the water to the house.
Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they may simply be old and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have frozen and burst. In a recently built residence, there could be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground joins may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once our after hours plumber is present, they can locate the problems and fix them in a expeitious and expert manner.
Do you have a broken faucet? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a fountain?

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your home, call us now.
Whether you want a whole replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional on call plumbers can speedily identify the cause and remedy it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From large to small, our Forest Hill emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we offer a broad selection of urgent and non-urgent plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?
If it’s not bad enough to be worth repairing right now, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to minimise the racket. Alternatively tie some string around the tap spout sufficient to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
