What We Can Send an Engineer For
Since every job is different, start with the page that fits yours. For a leak or flood that cannot wait, see our emergency plumber service. Our blocked drains page deals with slow sinks and backed-up toilets.
For boiler faults and new boilers, read boiler repair and installation. Water pouring from a pipe? Read about burst pipe repair first. Each page explains the work, while the full list sits below.
All Services
Blocked Drains and Who Pays
Who pays for a blocked drain depends on where the pipe runs. Citizens Advice says the owner looks after a private drain inside the property boundary, while the water company looks after lateral drains and public sewers.
Your water bill names your local water company, which may not be Anglian Water, the main one in Northamptonshire. Check who owns the pipe before you pay for work, since that decides the bill.
Gas and Heating Work
Gas work must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer, says the HSE. Our engineers are Gas Safe registered. Ask to see the ID card, because it lists the gas work each engineer may do. If you smell gas, leave the building and follow the advice on Cadent's gas leak page.
While You Wait for Help
If a pipe bursts, turn off the stop tap and open the taps to drain the system, says the Met Office. Switch off the heating too, and keep clear of electrics if water is near them. Meanwhile, move rugs and valuables out of the way.
