Emergency Plumber in Brookwood

Water coming through a ceiling in Brookwood is an emergency, so ring us at once if you see a stain spreading or hear dripping. Failing ball valves, overflowing tanks and tired copper cylinders are the usual emergencies in Brookwood’s 1930s to 1950s homes.

In 1930s to 1950s homes the stopcock is usually under the kitchen sink or beneath the stairs, and if the loft tank is overflowing, isolate it as well if you can reach the valves safely. We do not carry out gas work: for a suspected gas leak, go outside and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Our emergency plumber page explains how urgent jobs are handled, should you want the details.

Most of Brookwood’s housing dates from the 1930s to the 1950s, clustered around the station and along Connaught Road. These homes typically have gravity-fed hot water, with a copper cylinder in the airing cupboard and a cold water tank in the loft. Failing ball valves, overflows and tired cylinders are the usual problems, and an upgrade to a modern cylinder or a refreshed bathroom is often the best answer.
