Emergency plumber in Manchester
Water where it shouldn’t be? Call 07893 933403. An emergency plumber is usually at your door within 60 minutes, anywhere in Manchester, and there is no call-out fee.
Do this now: turn off the stopcock, open the cold taps to drain the pipes, and keep water away from anything electrical. If a ceiling is bulging, don’t stand under it.
The plumbing emergencies we come out for
- Burst and split pipes, including frozen pipes in lofts, garages and outside walls.
- Leaks through a ceiling from a bath, shower, tank or the flat upstairs.
- Blocked or overflowing toilets that won’t clear with a plunger.
- Blocked drains, inside or in the yard, when sinks, baths and gullies back up.
- Leaking cylinders, radiators and valves that won’t stop when you tighten them.
- No water at all, after you have checked with your neighbours and the water company.
How the visit goes
The plumber finds where the water is coming from and stops it first. Then they repair what failed, whether that is a section of pipe, a valve, a seal or a cistern part, and check the run either side before turning the water back on. If the repair needs a part they don’t carry, they make it safe and tell you what is needed.
What it costs
You pay by the time on the job: £89 for the first hour, then £45 for each extra half hour, plus parts. There is no call-out fee and no night or weekend surcharge. The full rate is on the pricing page.

Questions people ask
What should I do before the plumber arrives?
Close the stopcock to cut the supply, then open the cold taps to drain what is left in the pipes. If water is near a light fitting or socket, switch that circuit off at the consumer unit. Catch drips in buckets and move anything valuable out of the way.
What does an emergency plumber cost?
There is no call-out fee. You pay £89 for the first hour and £45 for each additional half hour, plus parts, at any time of day or night.
Where is my stopcock?
In most Manchester terraces and semis it is under the kitchen sink, sometimes behind a kick board or where the supply comes up through the floor. In flats it can be in a hallway cupboard or the bathroom. There is often a second valve outside, under a small cover in the pavement.
