Try This First. Free Liverpool Plumbing Fault Guide

These steps fix many plumbing problems without needing a call-out.

1
Find Your Stopcock

In most Liverpool homes it is under the kitchen sink, in a hallway cupboard or under the stairs. Victorian terraces often have it in the cellar or near the front door. Turn it clockwise to stop all water.

2
Check Your Boiler Pressure

If your boiler shows a fault code or you have no hot water, check the pressure gauge. It should read between 1 and 1.5 bar. Below 0.5 bar you can repressurise using the filling loop.

3
Check Your Neighbours

If you have no water or heating, check if your neighbours are affected. If they are, it is a United Utilities network fault. Call 0345 672 3723.

If you smell gas at any point, stop now and call Cadent Gas Emergency on 0800 111 999. Do not try any checks yourself.

Frozen Pipes in Liverpool. What to Do.

Cold snaps freeze a lot of Liverpool pipes each winter. Most can be stopped before they burst.

How to Spot a Frozen Pipe

Act fastBefore it bursts

No water from taps in cold weather. Frost showing on an exposed pipe. Bulging or colour change on a pipe section. A frozen pipe that has not yet burst can often be thawed safely. Call us at once before it splits.

Which Liverpool Properties Are Most at Risk?

Old Liverpool homes often have pipes in the loft or outside. They were never lagged to today's standards. Homes with pipes in cold spaces are most at risk.

Frozen Pipe Prevention

Free adviceBefore winter hits

Lag any open pipes in lofts, garages and cellars before winter. Keep the heating on low even when away. Know where your stopcock is. Before an emergency hits.

If your pipe has already burst

Turn off your stopcock at once. Turn on all taps to drain water. Call us on 0151 558 0334. We respond 24/7 across all Liverpool postcodes.

FROZEN PIPES  What should I do if my pipes are frozen in Liverpool?

Do not try to thaw frozen pipes with a naked flame. Turn off the water at the stopcock at once. Call us at once. A frozen pipe costs far less to fix than a burst one. Liverpool's Victorian terraces are very at risk due to external and loft pipes that were never lagged to modern standards.

NO HOT WATER  What should I do if I have no hot water in Liverpool?

Check your boiler pressure gauge first. It should read between 1 and 1.5 bar. Below 0.5 bar, repressurise using the filling loop. Note any error codes on the boiler display before calling us. If neither fixes the issue, call us on 0151 558 0334. We attend no hot water emergencies 24/7 across Liverpool.

BLOCKED DRAIN  What should I do if my toilet is blocked or overflowing?

Stop flushing at once. More flushing will overflow sewage onto the floor. Turn off the water supply to the toilet at the isolation valve on the pipe behind it if you can. Call us on 0151 558 0334. Do not use chemical drain cleaners. They rarely work on full blockages and can damage older Liverpool pipework.
