Emergency Plumber Chelmsford – Fast, Reliable & Affordable Service

At The Emergency Plumber Essex, we understand that plumbing emergencies require immediate attention, which is why we operate a 24/7 emergency service to ensure a fast response. Our aim is to reach your property as quickly as possible, and in most cases, we can be with you within an hour, depending on your exact location in Chelmsford and the severity of the emergency. We have a team of experienced and fully equipped plumbers on standby, ready to respond to urgent call-outs at any time of day or night. If you are experiencing a serious issue such as a burst pipe, flooding, or a complete boiler failure, it’s essential to call us as soon as possible so we can prioritise your situation and get to you without delay.

We believe in providing a fair and transparent pricing structure, so our customers always know what to expect. While emergency call-outs are naturally priced slightly higher than routine appointments due to the urgency and the need for immediate service, we ensure that our rates remain affordable and competitive. We do not add hidden fees or inflate prices just because it’s an emergency. Before any work begins, we provide a clear breakdown of the costs involved so you can make an informed decision. Our priority is to provide a high-quality, efficient service at a reasonable price, ensuring that you get the help you need without any unnecessary financial surprises.

If you have a burst pipe, act quickly to minimise damage by turning off the water supply at the stopcock, usually found under the sink or near the main water entry point. If water is near electrical outlets or appliances, switch off the electricity at the fuse box to prevent electrocution. To drain the system, turn on all cold taps and flush toilets to remove excess water. If possible, locate the burst section and temporarily patch it with a cloth or waterproof tape. Move any valuables away from the affected area and mop up standing water to prevent further damage. Finally, call The Emergency Plumber Essex for urgent repairs to ensure the issue is fixed professionally and prevent future problems.

Yes, we specialise in emergency boiler repairs and have a team of Gas Safe registered engineers who are fully qualified to handle all types of boiler issues. If your boiler breaks down unexpectedly, it can leave you without heating and hot water, which can be particularly problematic in the colder months. When you contact us, we will assess the situation over the phone and dispatch an engineer to your property as soon as possible. We carry a wide range of tools and replacement parts, allowing us to repair many common boiler faults on the spot. If a repair is not possible due to extensive damage or worn-out components, we will provide expert advice on the best solution, including potential replacement options. Our priority is to get your heating and hot water system working again as quickly and efficiently as possible.

While some plumbing emergencies are unavoidable, there are several proactive steps you can take to reduce the risk of unexpected problems occurring in your home. Regular maintenance and early detection of issues can save you from costly repairs and disruptions in the future. One of the best preventative measures is to check your plumbing system regularly for signs of leaks, unusual noises, or reduced water pressure, as these could indicate an underlying issue. Keeping your drains clear is also essential—avoid pouring grease, food waste, or non-flushable items down sinks and toilets to prevent blockages. Insulating your pipes during winter can help protect against freezing and bursting, which is a common issue in colder months. For those with boilers and heating systems, scheduling an annual service with a Gas Safe registered engineer ensures that everything is working efficiently and safely. If you ever need expert advice or routine maintenance, The Emergency Plumber Essex is always here to help, offering inspections and repairs to keep your plumbing system in top condition.
