How It Works
How We Handle Your Emergency
We'll answer your call immediately and dispatch the nearest available engineer to your location in Manchester or Greater Manchester.
On arrival, our engineer will quickly assess the situation, identify the source of the problem, and take any immediate steps needed to prevent further damage. We'll explain what's happening in plain English and give you a clear, fixed price before any work begins.
We come fully equipped to handle the most common plumbing emergencies on the spot. In the majority of cases, we'll have the issue resolved in a single visit — so you're not left waiting days for parts or follow-up appointments when every hour counts.
Plumbing Emergencies
Common Plumbing Emergencies We Handle
Burst Pipes
A burst pipe can cause serious water damage within minutes. We respond fast, isolate the problem, and carry out a lasting repair — not just a temporary patch. Acting quickly is the difference between a manageable fix and a major insurance claim.
Boiler Breakdowns
Losing heating and hot water is never just an inconvenience. Our engineers carry a wide range of common parts and can diagnose and repair most boiler faults on the same visit, getting your system back up and running as quickly as possible.
Blocked Drains
A severe blockage can cause overflow, flooding, and hygiene risks that get worse the longer they're left. We use professional-grade equipment to clear even the most stubborn blockages quickly and effectively, with no damage to your pipework.
Gas Leaks
A suspected gas leak needs immediate action. If you smell gas, don't wait — call us and contact the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Our Gas Safe registered engineers will respond urgently and make your home safe.
Flooding
Whether caused by a burst pipe, failed appliance, or backed-up drain, internal flooding needs fast, expert intervention to protect your property and limit damage. We'll extract water, identify the source, and carry out the necessary repairs to secure your home.
No Hot Water
Suddenly losing hot water points to a fault that needs diagnosing properly, not guessing at. Our engineers will identify the root cause quickly — whether it's a boiler issue, a failed component, or a system fault — and get it sorted the same day wherever possible.

Testimonials
What our clients say about our work
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After weeks of frustration with a leaking toilet that Rightio had supposedly fixed and checked twice, the leak was still there. In desperation, I searched Google and found JB7 Plumbing and Heating.
I rang on Tuesday 30th June at around 2:30pm and spoke to Sam. Luckily, they were able to book me in for 9:00am the following morning. John arrived promptly, quickly diagnosed the problem and explained everything clearly. The fault was a slow fill and a defective fill valve, which was causing the cistern to overflow and create the persistent leak that had been missed previously.
John was kind, friendly, highly experienced and a top-quality tradesman. Thanks to the excellent teamwork of Sam and Mary, communication throughout was outstanding, and the repair was completed by 2:00pm the same day. The work was clean, tidy, efficient and carried out to a very high standard.
The difference compared with the incorrect advice, diagnosis and repair I received elsewhere was remarkable.
What I'm most pleased about is that I've found a local plumber I can genuinely trust. JB7 Plumbing and Heating are transparent, friendly, helpful, provide superb customer service and deliver excellent quality workmanship. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will, definitely use JB7 Plumbing and Heating company again.

Google“JB7 Plumbing have been fantastic from start to finish. They came to my home to replace a water heater, and John and his colleague did an excellent job installing the new boiler. They worked efficiently, were professional and friendly throughout, and left the area spotless when they finished.
I couldn't recommend them highly enough. The quality of their work and customer service was outstanding, and I'll definitely be using them again for any future plumbing needs.”

“Would definitely recommend. John and the team were able to come around late to help switch the heating system on following a house move, and then organised to visit later that week to install a new boiler. They were super friendly and helpful!”

“John from JB7 Plumbing came to my rescue after a complete toilet fiasco.
The week before, I had been ripped off by another plumber who left my toilet loose, poorly secured and leaking – significantly worse than the original broken flush I had paid him to repair.
I posted the job on Checkatrade and JB7 picked it up. John came round, quickly identified the problem, explained exactly what had gone wrong and talked me through the repair. Reassuringly, he stuck to his original quote with no unexpected extras.
Once the work was complete, he gave me a thorough handover and even told me to get back in touch if I experienced any further issues.
John was professional, friendly and courteous throughout.
The toilet is now rock solid, working perfectly and completely leak-free – and all for less than the original cowboy had charged me.
I genuinely cannot recommend JB7 Plumbing highly enough. Brilliant service from John from start to finish.
Thank you!”
