Emergency plumbers in GU51: Renters vs Homeowners

For homeowners:

You’re usually responsible for all plumbing in your property - including emergencies. It’s worth checking your home insurance too, in case the damage is covered.

For renters:

It’s typically your landlord’s job to sort emergency plumbing repairs. Contact them (or your letting agent) as soon as you notice an issue, especially if it affects your heating, hot water or sanitation.

If it’s urgent and you can’t reach them, take photos, call an emergency plumber, and let your landlord know what’s happened.

  • What should I ask an emergency plumber before booking?

    • Do you charge extra for evenings or weekends?
    • Are you insured?
    • How soon can you get here?
    • Do you bring parts, or will you need to return?

    Yes, but speak to your landlord or letting agent first.

    If you can’t get hold of them and the issue is urgent, document everything, call an emergency plumber and inform your landlord or letting agent ASAP.
