Frozen Pipes? Call Hoopla
In the winter months, water freezes in pipes that are not insulated. This can happen in the loft, under floors, or outside. When ice forms inside water pipes, it swells and splits the pipe or opens the joints. As soon as the water begins to defrost, water will pour from the bursts causing problems and possible damage to walls, ceilings, and flooring. You need an emergency plumber to attend quickly to isolate the water supply. Our engineers have years of experience and know what to do on arrival. We will get the burst pipe under control immediately and let you know what work is needed to repair the pipe damage and fix the plumbing issues. Don’t leave a water leak, call in the experts and get it fixed today.

Burst Pipe FAQs
A burst pipe needs fast action. Here is what to do and how we can help.
What should I do first if a pipe bursts?
Turn off the water at the stopcock, switch off your heating and keep water away from electrics. Then call us to arrange the repair.
Where is my stopcock?
It is usually under the kitchen sink, but it can be in a cupboard, under the stairs or near the front door. It is worth finding it before you need it.
How can I stop pipes freezing?
Lag exposed pipes in lofts, garages and outside walls, and keep a little heating on in cold spells, even when you are away.
Will you repair the water damage?
We repair the pipe and make the system safe. For damage to floors, ceilings or belongings, contact your home insurer.
