Burst Pipes
Stopping the Water and Repairing Burst Pipework
A burst pipe can release a large volume of water very quickly, soaking ceilings, floors and electrics. The first thing to do is shut off your stopcock and, if water is near light fittings or sockets, turn off the electricity at the consumer unit. Then call Emergency Local Plumbers. We take burst pipe call-outs every day of the year, day and night, and give a fast local response across Cambridgeshire, Essex and Suffolk.
Once on site we isolate the affected section, drain down if needed and cut out the damaged length, replacing it with new pipe and fittings. Frozen pipes are a common cause in cold spells, as ice expands inside the pipe and splits it, often at a joint or bend. We thaw and check the surrounding run as well as the obvious break, so a second weak point is found before it fails.

Pricing
What Affects the Cost of a Burst Pipe Repair
Every burst is different, and the cost of putting it right depends on:
- Where the pipe has burst and how much flooring, boxing or ceiling has to be opened to reach it.
- The length of pipe and number of fittings that need replacing.
- Whether the pipe is copper, plastic or an older material.
- Whether the pipework has frozen and needs thawing before it can be repaired.
- The time of the call-out, including nights, weekends and bank holidays.
