Plumbing emergencies in Garforth don’t wait for office hours. A pipe splits in the loft in a cold snap, a shower seal fails and water comes through the kitchen ceiling, or the heating packs in on a Sunday night. Ring 0113 490 0679 and you’ll speak to a plumber who can tell you what to do right now and when we can be with you.
We cover Garforth and east Leeds, including Kippax, Swillington, Barwick-in-Elmet, Micklefield, Allerton Bywater, Cross Gates, Methley and Aberford. We’ll give you an honest arrival time on the phone, and tell you the call-out price before we set off.
What to do while you wait
- Turn the water off. The stopcock is usually under the kitchen sink. Turn it clockwise until it stops. In older terraces it can be in a cellar or under the stairs.
- Keep water away from electrics. If water is near lights or sockets, switch that circuit off at the consumer unit if it’s safe to reach.
- Drain the pipes. Open the cold taps and flush the toilets to empty the system.
- Switch off the boiler and immersion so nothing heats with no water in it.
- Smell gas? Leave the property, don’t use switches, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 first.

Questions about emergency plumber
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Water escaping that you can’t stop, water near electrics, no heating in cold weather, no water at all, or a toilet that’s the only one in the house and won’t flush. If you’re not sure, ring and we’ll tell you honestly whether it can wait.
Do you charge more at night?
Out-of-hours call-outs cost more than daytime work. We tell you the price on the phone before we set off.
I can smell gas. Should I call you?
Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 first and leave the property. Once the supply is made safe, we can carry out the repair.
