Why it happens in Manchester
The usual causes
- 01Bursts and freezes
Cold snaps don't keep office hours, the 2am flood is the classic night call.
- 02No heat with vulnerable people
Babies, elderly relatives, medical needs, no hot water at midnight in January is not a morning problem.
- 03Sewage return
Backflow into baths and showers gets worse with every upstream flush, including the neighbours'.
- 04Commercial closings
Pubs, restaurants and hotels discover plumbing failures at close of service, we work around trading hours by default.
Straight answers
Out of hours plumber, your questions
Do you really not charge extra at night?
Really. £110 first hour, £45 per additional half hour, at 3am on a bank holiday as on a Tuesday afternoon. The night premium other firms charge is a choice, not a cost.
Who actually turns up?
Our own named engineers, the same people on the Engineers page, on a rota. No subcontracted stranger whose name we don't know either.
What counts as “can't wait until morning”?
Water you can't stop, no heat with vulnerable people, sewage coming up, any gas concern. Genuinely unsure? Ring anyway, we'd rather talk you out of a callout than charge for one you didn't need.
How fast at night?
Often faster than daytime, empty roads. Our averages (44 minutes in Manchester) include the night calls.
