Failed Stop Taps & Valves
Seized or broken stop taps are replaced to ensure you can always shut off your water supply when needed.

Sudden loss of water supply is diagnosed – whether it's an internal fault, an airlock, or an issue for your water company (we'll advise accordingly).

Experiencing plumbing trouble?
Common emergency plumbing callouts
Ceiling bulging or dripping
What it may mean: water pooling above plasterboard from a leak upstairs. Do not pierce it yourself — call PFA Plumbing immediately.
Hissing or rushing sound in walls
What it may mean: a pressurised pipe leaking inside the wall cavity. Isolate the stop tap and contact us for emergency assistance.
Toilet rising instead of flushing
What it may mean: a blocked soil pipe or drain. Stop using water in that bathroom and call PFA Plumbing for an emergency plumbing callout.
Sudden pressure loss everywhere
What it may mean: a significant leak somewhere in the system bleeding pressure away. This requires immediate attention from an emergency plumber.
Water meter spinning with taps off
What it may mean: a hidden leak, possibly underground. This needs tracing before it undermines anything. Contact us for emergency plumbing services.
Boiler pressure dropping daily
What it may mean: a small leak on the heating circuit — small now, expensive later. We also offer central heating power flushing as a preventative measure.
