Emergencies We Cover

Plumbing emergencies we attend

No plumbing emergency is too big or too small. Our engineers carry the parts and equipment to resolve most emergencies on the first visit.

A plumbing emergency in a prime London property carries risks that go far beyond inconvenience. A burst pipe in a five-storey Belgravia townhouse, or a leak through a floor in a mansion block, can cause tens of thousands of pounds of damage to floors, ceilings, decorative plasterwork and possessions within minutes. Speed of response is not a luxury — it is essential.

RARE's emergency plumbers are dispatched from within the service area and carry tools and components for the most common emergency scenarios. For burst pipes, our engineers will isolate the supply, make a safe repair and restore water pressure before leaving. For leaks between floors in blocks of flats, we carry thermal imaging cameras to trace the source without damaging multiple rooms in the process.

If you smell gas at any time, leave the property immediately and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 before calling us. For all other plumbing and heating emergencies, call RARE directly on 020 7458 4949 — our team will confirm an ETA on the call.
