Emergency Plumbing in Leatherhead
In Leatherhead, emergencies often come from period houses in the town centre, 1960s estates and larger homes towards Fetcham and Cobham, where age of pipework and the way the building has been altered both play a part. We know the roads around Leatherhead High Street, the River Mole and Leatherhead Theatre and plan accordingly.
Leatherhead is a short drive from Epsom along the Ashtead road, and we cover the town centre and the estates around it.
A plumbing emergency rarely arrives at a convenient moment. A pipe lets go in the night, a toilet overflows through the ceiling below, or the boiler dies on the coldest evening of the year. What you need first is someone who picks up the phone and tells you what to do right now.

Turn off the water at the stopcock, which is usually under the kitchen sink or near the front door. Switch off the electrics in any wet area if it is safe to do so, and move valuables away from the water.
Your address and nearest cross road, where the water is coming from, whether you have found the stopcock, and whether anyone in the property is vulnerable. A photo helps if you can send one. Include your road in Leatherhead so we can plan the visit.
Common causes are frozen pipes that split on thawing, old joints and corroded fittings, worn washers and valves, and pressure surges. Ageing pipework in older properties is a frequent factor. Properties near the River Mole can have higher ground water, which matters for cellars, drains and underground pipes.

If the pipe is badly corroded or has failed in several places, we will explain why a longer replacement makes more sense.

Possibly. Original copper pipework, cylinders and boilers from that period are now old. We check the condition honestly and tell you what is fine, what needs attention soon and what can wait.
It can. Higher ground water can affect cellars, drains and underground pipes. If you have damp or a pipe issue near the river, we will find out whether the water is coming from your system or from outside.
Water where it should not be? Heating off?
