Plumbing & leaks
stop the water first, then fix the cause
A slow drip under a sink can rot a cupboard in a month. A burst pipe can bring a ceiling down in an evening. Either way, the quicker someone is there, the smaller the bill.
We look after plumbing in our own managed holiday lets every day, so the same team knows its way around stopcocks, isolation valves and the plumbing in older South West properties. After every visit you get a report with photos showing what we found and what we did.
Good to know
Work on mains water supplies outside the property and drainage owned by the water company is their responsibility. If the problem is on their side, we will tell you and help you report it.
What to do while you wait
- Turn off the water at the stopcock. It is usually under the kitchen sink, near the front door or where the pipe enters the property.
- If water is near lights, sockets or the fuse board, switch the electricity off at the consumer unit, but only if it is dry and safe to reach.
- Open the taps to drain the system and catch drips with buckets and towels.
- Take photos of the damage for your insurer before you start clearing up.
If water is coming through a light fitting, keep everyone out of the room and do not touch the switches.
If anyone is in danger, call 999. If you smell gas, call 0800 111 999.

Questions
good to know
Can you come out for a leak in the middle of the night?
Yes. The Response line runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Priority members go to the top of the queue and average under 48 minutes from call to door.
Do you fix the leak or just make it safe?
We fix it on the first visit wherever we can. If a part needs ordering or the job is bigger than expected, we make the property safe first and agree the next step with you before any further work goes ahead.
Can my tenant call you directly about a leak?
Yes. Members can share the Response line with tenants or whoever is at the property, and we let you know as soon as a job is logged.
Will I get something for my insurer?
Every visit comes with a job report and photos showing what was wrong, what we did and the time on site, which you can send to your insurer.
