Workmanship Guarantees, Warranty on Parts and Labour
A plumber who stands behind their work will offer a guarantee on both the parts they supply and the labour they provide. This gives you confidence that if something fails within the agreed warranty period, it will be put right at no extra cost to you.
- Ask each plumber about their workmanship guarantee before hiring
- Manufacturer warranties on parts and components should be passed on to you
- Written confirmation of any guarantee is best practice
All plumbers in our Fortuneswell network are encouraged to offer clear warranty terms as part of their service. Discuss this when reviewing your quotes and before agreeing to proceed.

Regulations and Compliance Costs in Plumbing
Some plumbing work in the UK attracts regulatory requirements that add legitimate costs to a job. Work that falls under the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations must be either carried out by a WaterSafe-approved contractor (who can self-certify) or notified in advance to the local water authority. Using an approved contractor avoids the notification fee and the need for an inspection.
Certain work, such as the installation of an unvented hot water cylinder, must also comply with Building Regulations (Part G) and requires notification and, in some cases, an inspection by a building control officer. A Gas Safe-registered engineer must certify any gas work and issue the appropriate documentation.
These are not optional extras, they are legal requirements. Any quote you receive for notifiable work in Fortuneswell should include provision for the appropriate certification. If a quote omits this entirely, treat it as a warning sign.
Emergency Plumbing, What to Do and What to Expect
A plumbing emergency is any situation involving an active water leak that cannot be contained, a burst pipe causing flooding, a complete loss of water supply, a severely blocked toilet with no alternative, or a gas leak. Situations that are inconvenient but not causing immediate damage, such as a slow drip or a dripping tap, are better addressed through a standard booking rather than an emergency call-out.
Turn off the water at the mains stopcock, usually found under the kitchen sink or where the water supply enters the property. If the leak is near electrics, turn off the electricity at the consumer unit. Mop up water and protect valuables and flooring where possible. If you smell gas, leave the property immediately, do not operate any switches, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
Most homes have an internal stopcock under the kitchen sink. Some properties have one in a utility room, hallway, or under the stairs. There is also an external stopcock in the pavement or footpath outside your property, which can be operated with a stopcock key available from hardware stores. Knowing both locations before an emergency occurs could save significant damage.
Yes, almost invariably. Emergency call-outs, particularly outside normal working hours, at weekends, or on bank holidays, typically attract a premium rate to reflect the additional commitment from the plumber. Ask for confirmation of the call-out charge and hourly rate before the plumber arrives so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Yes. Submit your request using our quote form and indicate that the job is urgent. Plumbers in Fortuneswell who offer emergency services will be able to see your request and respond. For a genuine emergency requiring immediate attendance, calling plumbers directly from their listed profiles is often the fastest approach.
