Before you call
Emergency plumbing answers.
Can I call AFS for an emergency plumber at any time?
Yes. AFS takes emergency plumbing calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Attendance depends on the job location and which engineer is available when you call.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Active water leaks, burst pipes, overflowing toilets, water close to electrics and faults that cannot be safely isolated should be treated urgently. If the water can be contained safely, send photos and the postcode so we can advise on the most suitable appointment.
Is there a call-out charge?
AFS does not add a separate call-out charge. We will explain the attendance and repair costs that apply to the job before work proceeds wherever the fault allows this.
