What should I do immediately if a pipe bursts?
Turn off the water at your main stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink or near the water meter). Turn off the boiler. Turn on all cold taps to drain the system. Then call us — do not try to repair a live burst pipe yourself.
How quickly can you reach Southwark for a burst pipe?
We aim to reach all SE1, SE5, SE15–17, SE22 addresses within 30–60 minutes. Burst pipes are treated as priority emergencies and we will dispatch the nearest available engineer immediately.
Can you repair lead pipes?
Yes. Many Southwark properties still have lead supply pipes. We can repair a burst section or recommend full lead pipe replacement, which may be partly subsidised by Thames Water under their lead pipe replacement scheme.
Will my insurer cover the damage?
Most home insurance policies cover trace and access for escape of water. We can provide a detailed repair report including photos and a scope of work description to support your claim.
