HOW URGENT IS THE PROBLEM?

Is It a Plumbing or Heating Emergency?

Not every fault needs an immediate emergency call-out. Use the guide below to understand how quickly the problem may need attention.

01
CAN USUALLY WAIT

Minor Problems

Some smaller plumbing and heating issues can usually be booked for a convenient appointment rather than treated as an emergency.

Dripping taps
Slow-draining sinks
One radiator not heating properly
Small contained leak
What to do

Keep an eye on the problem and arrange a repair before it becomes more disruptive.

02
NEEDS PROMPT ATTENTION

Problems That May Get Worse

Some faults are not immediately dangerous but should be investigated quickly before they worsen or leave essential services unavailable.

Boiler repeatedly losing pressure
No heating or hot water
Leak becoming worse
Repeated boiler fault codes
What to do

Arrange an engineer visit as soon as possible so the cause can be identified and repaired.

03
URGENT

Problems Needing Immediate Action

Problems that risk flooding, significant property damage or immediate safety concerns should be dealt with as a priority.

! Burst pipe or active flooding
! Uncontrolled water leak
! Water affecting electrical areas
! Suspected gas safety issue
What to do

Make the area safe where possible and seek the appropriate emergency or professional support immediately.

BEFORE THE ENGINEER ARRIVES

What to Do During a Plumbing or Heating Emergency

A few simple precautions can help limit damage and keep the situation under control while you wait for professional help. What you should do depends on the type of problem affecting your property.

01
WATER LEAK OR BURST PIPE

Limit Escaping Water

If water is escaping from pipework, turn off the water supply where it is safe and practical to do so. Move belongings away from the affected area and use containers or towels to help contain smaller amounts of water.

Avoid touching electrical sockets, appliances or wiring that may have been affected by water.

02
BOILER OR HEATING FAULT

Check the Obvious Signs

Look at the boiler display for any warning or fault code and check whether the thermostat or heating controls have changed. This information can help the engineer understand what has happened.

Do not remove the boiler casing or repeatedly reset a fault that continues to return.

03
OVERFLOWING TOILET

Stop Using the Toilet

Stop flushing the toilet and avoid using it until the fault has been investigated. If you know how to safely isolate its water supply, doing so may help prevent additional water entering the toilet.

Keep the surrounding area clear and contain any escaped water where possible.

04
GAS SAFETY CONCERN

Do Not Attempt a Repair

If you believe there may be a gas-safety issue, do not attempt to dismantle or repair the appliance yourself. A suspected gas leak should be treated as a safety emergency rather than a normal repair.

!

Follow the appropriate official emergency gas-safety procedure if you suspect a leak or immediate danger.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Emergency Plumbing & Heating FAQs

Answers to common questions about emergency call-outs, urgent plumbing and heating problems, engineer attendance and what to expect when you contact Keystone London.

What counts as a plumbing or heating emergency?

A problem may require urgent attention if it risks causing property damage, leaves essential services unavailable or cannot safely be left unresolved. Examples include burst pipes, uncontrolled leaks, boiler breakdowns and a complete loss of heating or hot water.

Do you provide same-day emergency call-outs in London?

Same-day attendance may be available depending on your location, engineer availability and the nature of the fault. Urgent problems are prioritised, and our team will give you the clearest available indication of attendance when you contact us.

Which areas of London do your emergency engineers cover?

We provide emergency plumbing and heating support across West, South West and Central London. If your location is not listed in the Areas section, contact our team and we can confirm current coverage and availability.

What should I do before an emergency engineer arrives?

If it is safe to do so, take practical steps to limit further damage, such as isolating the water supply during a major leak. Avoid dismantling boilers, gas appliances or electrical equipment yourself. Tell our team what you can see and what has changed.

Can you help if my boiler stops working suddenly?

Yes. Sudden boiler shutdowns can be caused by a range of faults, including pressure problems, ignition issues, controls or component failures. An engineer can investigate the cause and explain the appropriate repair.

What if I have no heating or hot water?

Check whether the problem affects the whole property and whether the boiler is displaying a fault code. Loss of heating or hot water may be caused by the boiler, controls or wider heating system and should be investigated if the problem continues.

Do your engineers carry parts for emergency repairs?

Common parts and fittings may be carried on service vehicles to help complete more repairs during the first visit. If a specific part is required, the engineer will explain what is needed and the next step.

Are your emergency boiler and gas engineers Gas Safe registered?

Gas-related work should be carried out by appropriately qualified Gas Safe registered engineers. Our team can help arrange the right engineer where a boiler or gas-related fault requires professional investigation.

Do you work with landlords and property managers?

Yes. We support homeowners, landlords, managing agents and property managers with urgent plumbing, heating and boiler problems across the areas we cover.

Can you provide documentation after emergency work?

Findings and completed work can be documented where required for property records, landlords, managing agents or insurance purposes. Let our team know if specific documentation is needed.
