Emergency repairs in Salford, 24/7

A flooded flat at the Quays, a lockout in Eccles or a dead fuse board in Walkden? PrimeFix247 Ltd tackles burst pipes, locks, electrics, roofs and smashed glass across the City of Salford, around the clock.

Salford became a city in 1926, and the wider City of Salford was formed in 1974 with Eccles, Swinton, Pendlebury, Worsley and Irlam. Many were cleared for tower blocks and low-rise estates between the 1950s and the 1970s. The docks closed in 1982 and became Salford Quays, where MediaCityUK and many apartment blocks now stand. Further west, Eccles, Walkden and Irlam combine older terraces with semis built between and after the wars. The River Irwell flooded about 400 homes in Lower Broughton and Kersal on Boxing Day 2015. For repairs, expect old pipework and fuse boards in surviving terraces, shared risers and fob entry in flats, and flat roofs on many estate homes.

Before we get to you in Salford

Plumbing in Salford

Close the stopcock as fast as you can. In a Salford terrace it normally sits beneath the sink, and in Quays apartments look in a hall cupboard near the water heater or behind a small panel. If water is getting into the flat below, alert the concierge or management line too.

Locksmith in Salford

Locked out of a Quays apartment? Speak to the concierge first, as some buildings keep a spare fob. For a house, try the rear door and any yard gate. Do not prise at a uPVC door, which can bend the frame. Keep a tenancy agreement or utility bill on your phone to prove the address.

Electrical in Salford

Look at the flats or houses next to you. If they are also without power, phone 105, free to call, so the network operator can check for a fault outside. In a tower block, ask whether the lifts and corridor lights are off too. If only your home is out, check the consumer unit.

Roofing in Salford

Use a bucket or bowl to catch the water and keep sockets and lamps away from the wet area. Any lighting circuit close to the leak should go off at the fuse board. Many Salford estate homes and garages have flat roofs, so do not stand on one that is wet or sagging. Wait for the roofer.

Glazing and boarding up in Salford

Keep clear of the broken glass and lift large pieces wearing gloves. Tape over any cracked pane. Terraces in Salford often open right onto the pavement, so a broken ground-floor window or door panel needs boarding fast to keep the house shut overnight.
