Frequently asked questions

What should I do first if a pipe bursts?

Turn off the internal stop tap if safe, avoid electrical fittings affected by water and call for help. Opening cold taps may help drain remaining water after the supply is isolated.

Does PCR offer 24-hour emergency plumbing?

No. PCR prioritises urgent local plumbing requests during working hours, subject to engineer availability.

Can PCR repair a leak from heating pipework?

Yes. PCR can investigate accessible leaks from domestic heating and plumbing pipework and advise if additional drying or building work is needed.
