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.

Buying a home? A pre-purchase CCTV survey checks the drains first. For macerator toilets, see Saniflo macerator repair. 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.

Thames Water may supply this area instead of Anglian Water, so check your water bill. 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.

Guides Worth Reading First
