Burst pipe under the floor, boiler dead on a frosty morning, or a drain backing up into the yard? Call the number below, any hour, and you'll be put through to a local plumber covering Dungannon and the surrounding countryside.
Straight up: this is a call-connection line, not a plumbing company. No work is carried out by this site itself — it puts you through to a local, independent plumber, and you can ask them anything before agreeing to a thing.
Call nowOne tap to ring. No forms, no waiting for a callback.
Most of the damage in a plumbing emergency happens before anyone arrives. Here's the plain version of what to do and what to leave well alone, whether or not you end up calling anybody.
Every mains-fed home has a stopcock that shuts the whole supply off. In the older terraces around Dungannon town centre it's nearly always under the kitchen sink, in behind the cleaning bottles. In the newer estates on the edges of town it's often in a hall cupboard, the utility room or the garage. Out in the country — and there's a lot of country around here — the shut-off can be outside under a small cover near the road or the boundary, sometimes a long walk from the house.
A stiff stopcock is a five-minute job for a plumber and a disaster for a pair of pliers in an angry hand. If yours won't budge, get it freed or replaced before winter, not during it.
Most sealed-system boilers want to sit at roughly 1 to 1.5 bar when cold — the gauge is on the front, and your manual gives the exact range for your model. Below 1 bar the heating goes limp or the boiler cuts out. Above about 2.5 to 3 bar something's wrong at the other end of the scale.
Pressure that keeps falling means a leak somewhere in the system — maybe a weeping radiator valve, maybe something under the floor. Cheaper to find it now than to find the ceiling stain later.
Winters here are less about deep snow and more about weeks of raw, damp cold — the kind that creeps into lofts, garages and outbuildings and catches any pipe that missed out on lagging. Rural properties with long supply runs from the road are the classic victims: plenty of exposed pipe, not much heat near it. If a tap dribbles or stops in freezing weather, suspect a frozen section.
If the pipe has already gone, leave the water off and call. A taped-up split on a pressurised pipe holds about as long as it takes you to put the kettle on.
Dungannon is a hilltop market town with a genuinely spread-out hinterland, and that shapes the plumbing problems people ring about. The older terraces near the town centre often carry pipework of mixed ages — original runs patched and extended over decades — where disturbing one tired joint can spring a second leak. The newer estates around the edges are generally plastic-plumbed and better behaved, but no estate is immune to a badly fitted washing machine valve or a pinhole in a copper tail. Out towards the villages, longer private supply runs, septic arrangements and exposed external pipework all behave differently to a compact town house, and water pressure can vary noticeably between a house near the top of the hill and one down in a hollow. None of that is cause for alarm — most homes here run for years without drama — but it's a good reason to get the odd damp patch or dribbling overflow looked at early, and to mention what kind of property you're in when you call.

There is no set price and this site will not invent one. What you pay depends on the job, the parts, the time of day and the plumber's own rates — evenings and weekends usually cost more. Ask for a price, or a call-out fee plus hourly rate, before any work starts. A decent plumber will give you a straight answer.
That depends on the plumber's workload at the time and how far out you are — a call in Dungannon town is a different run to a farmhouse beyond Pomeroy. You'll get an honest estimate on the phone, not a made-up number of minutes. If it's a genuine emergency, say so straight away.
Shut the water off at the stopcock, open the cold taps to drain the pipes, and switch the electrics off at the consumer unit if water is anywhere near sockets or light fittings and you can reach it safely. Then call. Don't spend the first five minutes mopping — stop the water first.
As a general rule across the UK, landlords look after the fixed plumbing and heating — boilers, pipework, water systems — while tenants report problems promptly and cover damage they've caused themselves. Rules can vary, so check your tenancy agreement or ask your letting agent if you're not sure.
Get everyone out of the property. Don't touch light switches, don't use naked flames, don't go hunting for the leak. Once you're outside at a safe distance, call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. A plumbing line is the wrong number for a gas leak — make that call first.
Most often under the kitchen sink, or wherever the mains supply comes into the house — a hall cupboard, utility room or garage in some homes, and outside under a small cover near the boundary in others, especially rural ones. If it's seized, don't heave on it until something snaps. A plumber can free or replace it.
Any hour, any day — burst pipes, boiler trouble, leaks and blocked drains across Dungannon and the surrounding towns and villages.
