Why Trust WGS Services for Rapid Plumbing Repairs?

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

It is not always easy to know when to call an emergency 24 hour plumber or when a problem can wait until morning. Generally, any issue that risks flooding your property, damages your internal structures, or leaves you without essential heating and water requires urgent attention. Winter brings a particularly high risk of frozen and burst pipes, while heavy rain can put immense pressure on local drainage and pipework.Common emergencies we handle include major water leaks, severely blocked internal drains that cause sewage backup, and sudden boiler or hot water system failures. If you cannot isolate the water supply or safely contain the issue, you need a professional on site immediately. For hard-to-find issues causing damp or low pressure, we also offer expert leak detection services to pinpoint the exact source of the problem.

How our rapid response plumbing team works

When you are dealing with a flooded kitchen or a broken boiler, you need a straightforward process with no delays. Once you call us on 01254 963593, our friendly team will give you immediate, practical advice on how to minimise damage, such as locating and turning off your main stopcock. We will then dispatch the nearest available engineer to your Wigan property.Upon arrival, our plumber will quickly assess the situation to stop the immediate danger, whether that means capping off a burst pipe or safely isolating a faulty appliance. We carry a wide range of WRAS-approved fittings and spares in our vans, allowing us to complete most emergency repairs on the very first visit. Our goal is to leave your home safe, dry, and fully functional as quickly as possible.

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.
