Emergency plumber in Baldock
Something leaking right now? Close the stopcock to cut the mains supply. It's often under the kitchen sink, but in newer houses it can be in a utility room, a garage or a downstairs cloakroom. If water is near sockets or a light, turn the power off at the fuse box. Then call 01462 510001.
A split pipe, water through a ceiling, a cylinder discharging water or a drain backing up into the house all count as emergencies, and they come first. Our phones are open 7am to 9pm on weekdays and 7am to 7pm on Saturday and Sunday. Send a photo or a short video on WhatsApp to 07719 056800 and we can often see what's needed before we arrive.
Plumbers in Baldock for leaks, cylinders and drains
Leak detection
If your water meter keeps moving when every tap in the house is off, water is escaping somewhere between the meter and your taps. We pin the source down with pressure testing and specialist equipment before anything is lifted or cut out, then repair it for good.
Unvented and hot water cylinders
Unvented cylinders give mains pressure hot water, but they rely on an expansion vessel and safety valves to stay safe. When those start to fail you'll often notice water dripping from the small pipe nearby. We repair, service and replace unvented and traditional cylinders, and immersion heaters.
Blocked drains and drain repairs
A drain that blocks again and again usually has a reason: a build up of fat, wipes, tree roots or a cracked section. A camera survey shows which, so the repair goes in the right place. See our page on drain unblocking across Hertfordshire.
Taps, toilets and showers
Dripping or seized taps, cisterns that won't fill or won't stop, showers with poor flow or no heat. Small jobs, done properly.
Water softeners
Fitted on the incoming main, a softener protects everything downstream: cylinder, shower valves, taps and appliances.
Landlords and businesses in Baldock
We look after plumbing for rental homes, shops, offices, schools and food businesses in and around Baldock: repairs between tenancies, washroom and drainage work, and planned maintenance visits so small faults are caught before they turn into call outs.
We also install and repair underfloor heating.

Plumbing in and around Baldock
Baldock's water is hard, like the rest of this corner of Hertfordshire, and that is behind a lot of the cylinder and shower faults we see in the town. Scale coats immersion elements and settles in valves, so parts wear out sooner than they should.
Besides the town itself, we regularly work in the villages around it, including Clothall, Bygrave, Weston, Radwell and Ashwell.

What our plumbing customers say
“Called JLP to investigate a leak coming in through the kitchen ceiling which had been going on for more than a month, with previous plumbers failing to find the issue. Within 5hrs Jack had identified and fixed the leak. Reasonable rates and friendly service. Highly recommended.”
“Jack has done a number of jobs for me but the other day I had an emergency with water gushing out. Jack came round immediately. He identified the leak & got it fixed. He has been superb in all the work that he has done for me. He is polite, respectful & keeps you informed but above all he knows his stuff. He is excellent. I thoroughly recommend using him & his company. I can see that all the reviews here are very positive - well deserved.”
