The most important thing during a plumbing emergency in Wickwar is stopping the water. We'll talk South Gloucestershire homeowners through finding and turning off the stop valve while we're en route. If your stop valve is seized (common in older properties), we'll guide you to the external stop tap as a backup.
Label your Wickwar home's stop valve location clearly — stick a label on the wall or cupboard door. In an emergency, anyone in the household should be able to find and turn it off within 30 seconds.
If a radiator starts leaking at the valve in your Wickwar home, you can usually stop it temporarily by turning the valve fully clockwise (off). This buys you time to arrange a non-emergency repair rather than paying emergency rates.
