Turn off the water at the stopcock. It is usually under the kitchen sink or where the water supply enters the property. If you are in a block of flats, the stopcock is most likely in a service cupboard in the communal area.

What we repair
We repair burst and split pipes, leaking radiators, valves and cylinders, and overflowing tanks and appliances. If the source is hidden in a wall, a floor or the flat above, we locate it with the same equipment we use for leak detection.
Once the leak is stopped, the same team dries the property, checks it with moisture readings, then repairs and redecorates the damage. If you are claiming on your insurance, we help with your claim, from the report to the repairs.
How an emergency repair works
01We find hidden leaks
If the source is in a wall, a floor or another flat, we locate it without opening up more than we need to.
02We stop the leak
We stop the water and repair the pipe, fitting or appliance that caused the leak.
03We dry the property
We dry the affected walls, floors and ceilings with industrial dehumidifiers and air movers, and check them with moisture readings.
04We repair and redecorate
The same team repairs the damage and redecorates, so the property is handed back ready to use.
Cost of emergency plumbing
Many buildings insurance policies cover escape of water and the damage it causes. Check your policy. We help with your claim, from the report to the repairs.
Why use Perlini for leak detection
Damage dried and repaired
Once the leak is stopped, we dry the property, check it with moisture readings and repair the damage.
Targeted opening-up
We use non-invasive detection methods to identify the most likely leak location before any opening-up is undertaken. Where access is required, we target the precise area indicated by our findings. This minimises unnecessary damage and reduces the reinstatement needed.
Written report
We provide a clear, professional report detailing our findings, detection methods and recommended works. You can submit it to your insurer as part of a trace and access claim.
Itemised quotation
The report includes a fully itemised quotation for the required repairs, so you and your insurer get clear, transparent pricing.
End-to-end repair service
Our experienced team can manage the entire process, from leak detection and repair through to drying, reinstatement and redecoration. We do not use subcontractors, so you get consistent standards and clear accountability from investigation to completion.
