Make the area safe first

Keep away from wet electrical fittings, damaged ceilings and areas you cannot enter safely. Do not touch electrical equipment or work on pipework near it. If it is unsafe to reach the stop tap, leave it and explain that when you call.

The burst-pipe first-steps guide explains safe action without attempting a repair. If you can see water but cannot identify a burst pipe, water-leak repair covers that conversation.

Information that helps arrange the visit

Give your location and describe the visible damage, whether water is still flowing and whether the supply has been turned off. Say if the pipe is accessible or behind a surface; do not remove fittings or enter unsafe areas to find out. Mention if the problem followed freezing weather.

John can discuss the damaged pipework and repair scope. If further damage, work or parts are identified, these will be explained before proceeding. There is no promise that every fault can be completed in one visit.
