What Counts as an Emergency?

No heating or hot water — especially in cold weather or with young children or elderly people in the house
A burst pipe or a leak you can’t stop
A boiler that’s leaking water, or has cut out completely
Water coming through a ceiling or wall from pipework or a cylinder
A radiator or valve leaking onto floors

Smell gas, or suspect a carbon monoxide leak? That’s not a callout — get out, open windows if it’s safe, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 straight away. Don’t touch electrical switches, and don’t go back in until you’re told it’s safe. You can also find official gas safety advice on the Gas Safe Register website.

What to Do Right Now

1. Stop the water. Turn the main stopcock off (usually under the kitchen sink, by the front door, or in a downstairs cupboard) — turning it clockwise stops water coming into the house.

2. Turn the boiler off at its switch if water is leaking from it, and switch off the electrics to the affected area if water is near sockets.

3. Contain it. Buckets, towels, and moving anything valuable out of the way genuinely limits the damage while you wait.

4. Call us or send the form. Tell us what’s happened and where — you’ll get a confirmed price for the visit before we set off.

How Emergency Callouts Work

You call or message → we confirm the fixed callout price on the spot → a local engineer comes out, makes everything safe, and either fixes it there and then or gives you the exact price for the repair before doing it. No open-ended hourly billing, no surprise extras. Non-urgent problem instead? See our plumber in Walsall or boiler repair pages.

What Does an Emergency Callout Cost?

Emergency visits cost more than booked-in work — that’s true everywhere. As a guide, an out-of-hours emergency callout in Walsall typically runs £90–£180 for the visit and making safe, with any repair quoted as a fixed price once the engineer has seen it. You’ll always know the callout price before we set off.

Emergency cover runs right across Walsall and its towns — see our pages for boiler services in Bloxwich and Brownhills.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most commonly asked questions about emergency callouts

How fast can you get to me?

It depends on where the engineers are and how many emergencies are running, so we won't invent a time. Emergencies are prioritised over booked work, most Walsall callouts are reached the same day — and when you call, you'll be told honestly how long it will be.

Is an emergency callout more expensive than a normal visit?

Yes — evenings, weekends, and urgent same-day visits carry a higher callout than work booked ahead. The price is confirmed before we set off, and any repair is quoted fixed before it's done, so the total never creeps.

My pipe has burst — what should I do first?

Turn the stopcock off (clockwise), turn off the boiler and any immersion heater, open the taps to drain pressure, and mop up what you can. Then call. That order — water off first — limits almost all of the damage.

My boiler has broken down in winter — is that an emergency?

If you've lost all heating and hot water, yes, treat it as one, especially with children, elderly, or unwell people at home. Call and it'll be prioritised like any other emergency.
