When you need emergency plumber

How it works

What actually happens

1

Call us, do not email

For a genuine emergency, phone. We will talk you through making it safe while we are on the way.

2

Make it safe

We will tell you what to isolate: water at the stopcock, gas at the meter, electrics if water is near them.

3

We attend and stabilise

First job is stopping the damage. Then we diagnose.

4

Fixed price to repair

Once it is stable, you get a price before the repair goes ahead.

How long it takes. We prioritise genuine emergencies and aim to get an engineer to you as quickly as we can. Making the property safe comes first, the permanent repair may be booked in after.
The price

What is included, and what changes it

Included in your fixed price

  • Immediate phone advice to limit the damage
  • Making the property safe on arrival
  • A fixed price for the repair before it starts
  • Gas Safe registered engineers for any gas work

What changes the price

  • Time of day and day of the week
  • How much water damage has already occurred
  • Whether parts need to be sourced out of hours
  • How accessible the failure point is
We do not publish a headline price for emergency plumber, it would be a guess. You get a fixed price after we have seen the job, and that is the price you pay.
Worth knowing

Is it actually an emergency? An honest guide

Not everything needs an out of hours call out, and we would rather tell you that than charge you for it. Here is how we assess it:

Genuine emergency, call now
Uncontrolled water escaping, water near electrics, a burst pipe, a smell of gas, no heating in freezing weather with a vulnerable person in the house.
Urgent, same or next day
No hot water, a boiler lockout in mild weather, a leak you have managed to contain, a toilet that will not stop running.
Can be booked in
A dripping tap, a slow draining sink, one cold radiator, a noisy boiler that is still working.
Gas smell: not our call first
If you can smell gas, phone the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 before you phone us. It is free and it is the law. Do not switch anything on or off.

Covering Manchester

From city centre apartments to Victorian terraces in the suburbs, Manchester housing varies hugely, and so do the heating systems in it. We cover the city centre, Ancoats, Chorlton, Didsbury, Withington, Levenshulme and the wider M1 to M23 postcodes.

Manchester is a city of two extremes: new build apartments in the centre, often on communal systems with combi boilers and tight service cupboards, and rows of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Chorlton, Didsbury and Levenshulme with older pipework, original radiators and systems that have been added to over decades. The terraces are where we most often find sludge, cold radiators and boilers that were never sized for the house.

Questions

Emergency Plumber in Manchester, answered

Do you cover Manchester?

Yes. Nelson Plumbing & Heating Ltd covers Manchester and the surrounding areas, including the city centre, Ancoats, Chorlton, for emergency plumber and all other plumbing, heating and gas work. We are a Salford based company (M3 6GB) with Gas Safe registered engineers working right across Greater Manchester. From city centre apartments to Victorian terraces in the suburbs, Manchester housing varies hugely, and so do the heating systems in it. If you are not sure whether your postcode (M1 to M23) is covered, call the team on 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk and we will confirm straight away.

Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?

Yes. Every gas job Nelson Plumbing & Heating carries out in Manchester is completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Gas Safe registration is a legal requirement for anyone working on gas appliances in the UK, and it means the engineer has been assessed as competent on the specific type of work they are doing. You are welcome to ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card when they arrive, and you should ask that of any engineer who comes to your home. The card shows a licence number and the exact categories of work they are qualified for.

How much does emergency plumber cost in Manchester?

The honest answer is that it depends on the job, and any company that gives you a firm price over the phone without seeing it is guessing. What changes the price for emergency plumber is mainly: time of day and day of the week; how much water damage has already occurred; whether parts need to be sourced out of hours. What we do instead is give you a fixed price before any work starts, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay. As one customer put it: "the job was exactly how much they quoted for, no scary surprises." For a free, no obligation quote in Manchester, call 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk.

How long does emergency plumber take?

We prioritise genuine emergencies and aim to get an engineer to you as quickly as we can. Making the property safe comes first, the permanent repair may be booked in after. Every job is different, so when we quote for emergency plumber in Manchester we will also tell you realistically how long we will be, and whether we need more than one visit. We would rather tell you honestly up front than turn up and disappear halfway through.

How quickly can you get to me in Manchester?

Nelson Plumbing & Heating works out of Salford, so most of Manchester is a short run for our engineers. For genuine emergencies, a burst pipe, no hot water, a boiler lockout, we prioritise the call and aim to get someone out as fast as we can, and we will talk you through making the property safe while we are on the way. For planned work such as an installation or an annual service in Manchester, we will book a slot that suits you. Call 0161 515 9977 and the team will tell you honestly when they can be with you rather than promise something they cannot keep.

What is included in the price?

For emergency plumber in Manchester, the fixed price we quote includes: immediate phone advice to limit the damage; making the property safe on arrival; a fixed price for the repair before it starts; gas safe registered engineers for any gas work. If we find something during the job that genuinely changes the scope, we stop and tell you before we carry on, we do not simply add it to the bill at the end. Nelson Plumbing & Heating is a limited company (number 13649684) and we are members of Checkatrade and TrustATrader.

Do you work with landlords and letting agents in Manchester?

Yes. We carry out landlord gas safety checks (CP12 certificates), servicing and repairs for landlords and letting agents across Manchester and Greater Manchester. If you let a property with gas appliances you are legally required to have every gas appliance and flue checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months, to give the tenant a copy of the record within 28 days, and to keep copies for at least 2 years. We can handle single properties or a portfolio. Call 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk.

What areas around Manchester do you cover?

From our base in Salford we cover Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area, including Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Sale, Bolton, Bury, Rochdale and Warrington. Within Manchester itself we regularly work in the city centre, Ancoats, Chorlton, Didsbury, Withington, Levenshulme and across the M1 to M23 postcodes. If your postcode sits just outside that, it is still worth calling on 0161 515 9977, we will tell you straight away whether we can get to you rather than take the booking and let you down.
