Emergency plumbing in Cambridge.
Start with what you can see. Open one for what we do about it.
We shut the water off at the stopcock, cut out the split section of pipe and fit new pipe. That means the leak stops and the ceiling below it can start drying out.
We trace the leak back from the stain to the joint or pipe at fault, then repair that. That means the damp stops spreading instead of coming back in a fortnight.
We check the stopcock, the valves and the pipe for an airlock, in that order. That means you get the supply back without anyone guessing at it.
We clear the blockage without damaging the pan, then flush it through to check. That means the only bathroom in the house is back in use.
We replace the failed float valve and set the water level. That means the overflow pipe stops dripping and the tank stops filling itself.
We replace the seized or leaking valve and test the isolation. That means you can turn your own water off next time.
Not on the list? Tell us what is happening and we will tell you the sensible thing to do.
Book a callbackWhere we work
Where in Cambridge we work.
Speedy is a Cambridge business. We work across the city and the villages around it, for emergency plumbing, drains and jobs you book in.
Postcode districts we cover here: CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5.
- Cherry Hinton
- Trumpington
- Chesterton
- Arbury
- King's Hedges
- Barnwell
- Fen Ditton
- Girton
- Grantchester
The city runs from CB1 to CB5. CB4 is the north of it, at Arbury, King's Hedges and Chesterton, and CB5 is the east, at Barnwell and Fen Ditton. CB3 reaches north-west to Girton and south to Grantchester, while CB1 holds Cherry Hinton and CB2 holds Trumpington. The M11 ends north-west of the city where it meets the A14, and the A428 runs out to the A1 at St Neots.
Burst pipes and leaks bring us out right across CB1 to CB5, and out to Girton, Grantchester and Fen Ditton beyond the city edge. Give us the road name and the postcode when you ring, and say whether the water is still running.
