A leak, a burst pipe, a blockage, or no water at all — we diagnose and repair the fault, and make good afterwards. If you're dealing with a leak right now, find your stopcock and turn it off before anything else. Covering Farnham, Guildford, Godalming, Farnborough, Fleet and Camberley.
Find the main stopcock and turn it off — this is usually under the kitchen sink, though it can be elsewhere in older properties. Turning off the stopcock stops water reaching the leak, which limits the damage it can cause. If the leak is coming from a specific appliance or fitting with its own isolation valve, such as a washing machine or a toilet, isolating that valve alone may be enough. Open a downstairs cold tap afterwards to relieve pressure in the system, and mop up or contain standing water where you safely can, particularly near electrical sockets or fittings.
This page covers plumbing faults that need attention now — something has failed, and water, drainage or supply is affected as a result. That includes leaks, burst pipes, blockages, dripping or seized valves, failed flexible connectors, an overflowing cistern, loss of water or pressure, and frozen pipes. If you're planning new plumbing work rather than dealing with a current fault, that's covered on our Residential Plumbing page instead.

Common plumbing faults
Diagnosed and repaired, not just patched.
From a dripping valve to a burst pipe affecting the whole property, we isolate the fault, find the actual cause, and make good once the repair is complete.
Leaks & Burst Pipes
A joint failure, a split pipe from freezing, or corrosion in an older copper run — we isolate the leak and repair or replace the affected section.
Leaking or burst pipe from a joint failure, freeze split or corrosion
Failed flexible connector under sinks, behind washing machines or at toilet connections
Dripping or seized tap and valve — worn washers, cartridges or seized spindles
Frozen pipe thawed and checked for a split before it's left in use
From a slow-draining sink to a blocked external drain affecting the whole property, we clear the blockage using the method appropriate to its location and severity.
Blocked or slow-draining sink, bath or shower
Blocked external drain affecting the property
Overflowing cistern from a failed ballcock, float or fill valve
No water at all is often a supply-side issue, a failed stopcock, or a burst affecting the whole property. A drop in pressure often points to a developing leak elsewhere in the system.
No water at all to the property
Loss of pressure from a developing leak
Failed stopcock or isolation valve
Whole-property burst affecting the incoming supply
We isolate the fault first, then find the actual cause rather than only treating the visible symptom, and agree the repair with you before any work starts.
Fault isolated first, so the damage stops getting worse
Actual cause identified, not just the visible symptom
Repair explained and agreed with you before work starts
Disturbed flooring, walls or fittings made good to a tidy, safe standard
Water damage can extend beyond the plumbing fault itself.
Standing water and damp from a leak can affect flooring, ceilings and decoration beyond the plumbing fault itself. Once the repair is complete, we'll tell you plainly what damage we've seen so you can assess whether further remedial work, or a conversation with your insurer, is needed — that assessment sits outside our plumbing repair, but we won't leave you guessing about what we've found.
Blockages range from a slow-draining sink caused by a local build-up to a blocked external drain affecting an entire property. We clear the blockage using the method appropriate to its location and severity, and where a blockage is a recurring problem rather than a one-off, we'll explain what's likely causing it to keep happening.
Clear explanation of what's caused the fault, not just the visible symptom
Repairs agreed with you before any work starts
Disturbed flooring, walls or fittings made good as part of the same visit wherever practical
Recurring blockages diagnosed rather than only cleared

Incredible service — problems fixed perfectly once again.
Lee, Paul and the team at COMGAS are fantastic. They arrived on time and got straight to work, quickly identifying the root cause of the plumbing and heating issues I was experiencing.
The problems were diagnosed swiftly, I was kept fully informed throughout, and both issues were fixed with impressive speed and precision.
Having worked in the industry for nearly 20 years, I know how rare it is to find reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely skilled professionals — let alone a team this good.
I joked about it at the time, but it’s true: I had the best shower I’ve ever had in this house after they finished the job — and I’ve lived here for 10 years!
I honestly couldn’t ask for more and can’t recommend COMGAS highly enough.

I recently used Comgas for a gas and heating service, and I couldn't be more impressed! From start to finish, their team was professional, friendly, and highly knowledgeable. They quickly identified the issue with my heating system and explained everything in detail, offering both short- and long-term solutions.
The technician was punctual and took extra care to ensure everything was running smoothly. I really appreciated their attention to detail and how they made sure to clean up after the work was completed. My home is now warm and cozy, all thanks to their expert service. I highly recommend Comgas for anyone looking for reliable, efficient, and trustworthy gas and heating professionals!

Plumbing repair questions
Frequently asked questions.
If you're dealing with a leak or burst pipe right now, find your stopcock and turn it off before anything else, then call us.
What's the first thing I should do if I find a leak?
Find the main stopcock — usually under the kitchen sink — and turn it off to stop water reaching the leak. If the leak is from a specific appliance or fitting with its own isolation valve, closing that alone may be enough. Then call us.
Where is my stopcock if I don't know?
Most commonly under the kitchen sink, but it can be in a utility room, cellar, garage, or under stairs in older properties. If you genuinely can't locate it, call us and we'll talk you through likely locations for your type of property.
My pipes have frozen — what should I do?
Turn off the stopcock if you suspect the pipe may have split, since a frozen pipe often leaks once it thaws. Don't apply direct heat to a frozen section yourself if you're unsure where it runs, as this can cause a hidden split to fail suddenly. Call us to assess and thaw it safely.
Will you need to open up my wall or floor to fix a leak?
Only if that's genuinely where the fault is. We isolate and investigate before deciding, and we'll explain clearly if access work is needed before we start, rather than opening things up unnecessarily.
Do you make good after a repair, or just fix the leak?
We make good what we've disturbed to access the fault, to a tidy and safe standard, as part of the same visit wherever practical. Where further work such as redecoration is needed beyond the plumbing repair, we'll tell you plainly what that involves.
Is this the same service as your residential plumbing installation?
No. This page covers urgent faults — leaks, bursts, blockages, no water. Planned plumbing work, such as a new bathroom, kitchen or upgraded pipework, is covered on our Residential Plumbing page.
My cistern keeps overflowing — is that urgent?
It's worth having looked at promptly, since a continuously overflowing cistern wastes water and can indicate a failed float or fill valve that may fail further. It's not usually a property emergency in the way a burst pipe is, but it shouldn't be left indefinitely.
