Within minutes, hundreds of litres of water can escape into ceilings, walls and floors, causing thousands of pounds of damage before the supply is shut off. Our first priority on arrival is containment: we isolate the supply at the stopcock or affected zone valve, drain down the system to stop further escape, and assess the damage. We then carry out a permanent repair — copper, plastic or compression, whatever is appropriate for the pipe and location — not a temporary clamp or tape that will fail again in weeks. We carry common pipe sizes, fittings and isolation valves on every van, so the vast majority of burst pipes are repaired on the first visit. We also document the cause where useful for your insurance claim. ## Real Work Examples ![Burst pipe repair installed by Conroy Plumbing & Heating in Bolton](/images/work-1.jpg) ![Burst pipe repair completed by Phil Conroy in Greater Manchester](/images/work-9.jpg) ![Burst pipe repair carried out by our Gas Safe engineer in Lancashire](/images/work-12.jpg) ## Why a Temporary Fix Will Cost You More Some plumbers will arrive, clamp the leak, and leave you with a 'repair' that's destined to fail the next time pressure spikes. A permanent repair means cutting out the damaged section and installing new pipework that's properly supported, jointed and pressure-tested before we leave. - Frozen pipes burst as water expands inside them — most common in lofts and exterior walls - A single burst can release 400+ litres an hour at mains pressure - Insurance claims often require evidence of a permanent repair, not a clamp - Hidden leaks behind plasterboard can rot timber and cause mould within days - Old lead and steel pipework is far more prone to bursting than modern copper or plastic ## Our Process 1 ### Isolate & Contain On arrival we shut off the supply, drain the affected section, and stop further water escape — minimising secondary damage. 2 ### Locate the Burst We trace the exact failure point, exposing pipework only where necessary. Hidden leaks are pinpointed with acoustic or thermal kit if required. 3 ### Permanent Repair We cut out the damaged section and install new copper or plastic pipework with properly jointed, supported and pressure-tested connections. 4 ### Pressure Test Before we leave, we re-pressurise the system and check every joint to confirm the repair is fully watertight. 5 ### Documentation We provide a written invoice describing the failure and repair — useful for your home insurance claim. ## Why Choose Conroy ### 60-Minute Response On-site typically within an hour across Bolton & Greater Manchester — every minute matters when water is escaping. ### Permanent Repair We cut out and replace the damaged pipework. No temporary clamps, no tape, no return visits. ### Parts on Board Copper, plastic, compression fittings and isolation valves carried as standard — most jobs done first visit. ### Insurance-Ready Invoice Written description of the failure and repair to support your home insurance claim. ### Damage Minimised Fast isolation and containment limits secondary damage to ceilings, floors and belongings. ### Gas Safe Engineer All work carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer with 25+ years of UK plumbing experience. ## Technical Detail ### First Steps Before We Arrive If you can, turn off the water at the internal stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink) and open all cold taps to drain the system. Turn off the central heating. If water is near electrics, switch off the consumer unit. Move valuables and lift rugs. ### Why Pipes Burst The most common cause is frost — water expanding inside a frozen pipe creates pressure that splits the wall, but the leak only appears when the ice melts. Other causes include corrosion of older steel or lead pipework, mechanical damage during DIY, and ground movement on buried supply pipes. ### Frozen Pipe Prevention Insulate all exposed pipework in lofts, garages and outbuildings. Keep the heating on a low setting during prolonged cold snaps. If you're away in winter, leave the heating at 12-15°C or drain the system entirely. ### Insurance Considerations Most home insurance policies cover 'escape of water' including the repair of the pipe and the damage caused. Keep our invoice — it documents the cause and the permanent fix. Take photos of damage before any clean-up. ### Hidden Bursts Not all bursts are obvious. Sudden high water bills, damp patches on walls or ceilings, low pressure, or the sound of running water with no taps open are all signs of a hidden leak. We use acoustic and thermal detection to find them without unnecessary damage. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How quickly can you respond to a burst pipe? ### What should I do before you arrive? ### Will you do a temporary repair or a permanent one? ### Can you help with an insurance claim? ### How much do you charge at night or weekends?
