Key facts

Last reviewed:

Emergency plumbing costs vary with the time of day and the job. Here are our typical price ranges, how the call-out fee works and what changes the final bill.

Typical emergency call-out prices

Emergency call-outs are typically £80 - £120 from 8am to 6pm and £100 - £150 overnight. Weekend and bank holiday call-outs are typically £120 - £180. All prices include VAT and are typical ranges.

How the call-out fee works

A call-out fee applies to every visit. It is worked out from the distance between our East London base and your postcode, and shown before you pay online by card. The further away you are, the higher the fee.

Common emergency jobs

Burst pipe repair is typically £100 - £200 and a gas leak inspection £90 - £150. Flooding response starts from £150. Parts and extra work are quoted separately.

What affects the final price

The type of fault, how hard it is to reach, the parts needed and how long the work takes. Hidden pipework and older properties can add time. Ask your engineer to explain the price before work starts.

Is a 24 hour plumber more expensive?

Out of hours and weekend work is usually priced higher than daytime work because of the hours involved. Our price ranges above show the difference, and the call-out fee is shown before you pay.
