Emergency Plumber
Brigg& Surrounding Area

For most plumbing work, yes — you or another responsible adult should be present. The plumber will need access to the affected area and may need to discuss the repair options with you. If you cannot be there, you can authorise someone else to be present on your behalf, but make sure they can make decisions about the work.

Your internal stopcock is typically located under the kitchen sink, in a downstairs cupboard, or near the front door where the mains pipe enters your property. Turn it clockwise to shut off the water. If you cannot find or turn it, use the external stop valve in the pavement outside your property — you may need a stopcock key to operate it.

A dripping tap is not usually a plumbing emergency, but it should not be ignored. A tap dripping once per second wastes over 15,000 litres of water per year, adding roughly £30–£50 to your water bill. It can also cause limescale buildup and eventually damage the tap mechanism beyond simple repair. Book a plumber for a non-urgent appointment to replace the washer or cartridge.
