Immediate action in BR1

First steps when a pipe bursts

Turn off the water

Locate your stopcock immediately (usually under the kitchen sink or near the water meter) and turn it off clockwise. This stops water flow and limits damage. Every adult in the property should know where the stopcock is.

Protect electrics

If water is near light fittings, sockets or the fuse board, switch off the electricity at the consumer unit. Do not turn it back on until an engineer has confirmed the area is safe and dry.

Document and call

Take photos and video of the damage immediately for your home insurer. Then call us — we attend burst pipe emergencies same day across London and can provide a written report for your insurer.

Frozen pipes in winter: if temperatures drop below -5°C, pipes in uninsulated lofts, outbuildings and external walls are at risk. Lag pipes in vulnerable areas before winter. Keep the property heated to at least 10°C if away.
