FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our 24/7 emergency plumbing services, burst pipe repairs, and leak detection in Lancashire.

What should I do while I wait for the plumber to arrive?

+

The most important step is to turn off your main water stopcock. This is usually located under the kitchen sink or where the water lead enters the house. If the leak is near any electrical sockets or lights, turn off your electricity at the consumer unit (fuse box). Try to mop up as much standing water as possible to prevent it from soaking into the floor.

Are your plumbers Gas Safe Registered?

+

Yes, WGS Services is Gas Safe Registered. This is vital if your plumbing emergency involves a boiler, a gas water heater, or any pipework that could be connected to your gas supply. Never hire a plumber to work on gas appliances unless they can show you their Gas Safe ID card.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

+

We believe in fair and transparent pricing. While emergency out-of-hours visits have different rates than scheduled daytime maintenance, we always discuss costs with you upfront. We offer free quotes and, for many common plumbing repairs, we use our fixed-price model to ensure you know exactly what you are paying.

Can you help with blocked drains as well as plumbing?

+

Absolutely. We specialize in both drainage and plumbing. If your emergency is a blocked toilet, a backed-up drain, or a collapsed pipe, we have the jetting equipment and CCTV survey tools to fix it. We provide a complete "water in, water out" service for your home or business.
