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.
