Burst pipes may appear as visible spraying water, damp walls, water under paving, unexplained meter movement or sudden pressure loss. The first priority is isolating the supply and controlling further damage.

We trace the failed section, assess the pipe material and access conditions, and then repair or reroute the affected line as appropriate. On ageing or repeatedly failing pipework, a reroute can sometimes provide a more reliable solution than reopening the same area later.

Contact us with the location of the leak, whether the water can be isolated and any photos that may help us understand the situation.

Frequently asked questions

Can a burst pipe be repaired without replacing the entire water line?

A local failure may allow a section repair. If the surrounding pipework is deteriorated or has failed repeatedly, rerouting or replacing a longer section may be a more practical option. We explain the findings before quoting.

Do you repair concealed and underground burst pipes?

We assess both visible and concealed supply-pipe failures. Leak detection and access work may be needed where the failure is beneath paving, within a wall or otherwise difficult to reach.

Are paving and wall repairs included?

This depends on the agreed scope. We specify the access and reinstatement work included in the quotation and identify finishes that may require another contractor.
