Got a plumbing emergency right now?

Call 07877 005180 Now

When water is pouring through your ceiling at 2am or you can smell gas in the kitchen, you don't have time to scroll through pages of search results. You need an emergency plumber near you who can actually pick up the phone and get to you fast. That's exactly what Chris Letts Plumbing provides for homes across Yeovil and South Somerset.

What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?

Not every plumbing problem needs an emergency callout, but some absolutely do. Here's when you should call straight away:

Burst Pipes

Water flooding your home can cause thousands of pounds in damage within minutes. Turn off your stopcock immediately and call us.

Gas Leaks

If you can smell gas, open windows, don't touch any switches, get everyone out, and call the Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first, then call us.

Boiler Breakdowns

No heating or hot water, especially in winter, is a genuine emergency — particularly if you have young children or elderly family members at home.

Blocked Drains

Sewage backing up into your home is a health hazard and needs sorting immediately. Don't wait — the problem won't fix itself.

Why People in Yeovil Call Us First

When you search for "emergency plumber near me" in Yeovil, you want someone who's actually nearby and can actually come out — not a national call centre that passes your details to whoever happens to be free. Here's what you get with us:

  • We answer the phone: When you call, you speak to us directly. Not an answering service, not a voicemail — a real person who can help.
  • Fast response: We're based in the Yeovil area, so we can get to you quickly. No waiting hours for someone to drive across the county.
  • Gas Safe registered: For gas-related emergencies, you need a qualified engineer. We're fully Gas Safe registered and insured.
  • Honest pricing: We'll tell you upfront what the callout will cost. No inflated emergency rates designed to catch you at a vulnerable moment.
  • We fix it properly: An emergency repair isn't just about stopping the immediate problem — it's about making sure it doesn't happen again.

What to Do While You Wait for the Plumber

While you're waiting for us to arrive, here are some things you can do to limit the damage:

  1. Turn off the water: Find your stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink) and turn it off to stop the flow
  2. Turn off the heating: If a pipe has burst, turning off your boiler prevents more water being pumped through the system
  3. Contain the water: Use towels, buckets, and containers to catch dripping water and protect furniture and flooring
  4. Turn off electrics if needed: If water is near electrical outlets or appliances, switch off at the fuse box for safety
  5. Open taps: Running cold taps helps drain the system faster once the stopcock is off

Don't Wait — Plumbing Emergencies Get Worse

The one thing every plumbing emergency has in common is that it gets worse the longer you leave it. A small leak becomes a big leak. A slow drain becomes a blocked drain. A dodgy boiler becomes no boiler at all. If something doesn't seem right, it's always better to call and check than to wait and hope it sorts itself out.
