Yorkshire Water External Stoptap — We Are WaterSafe Registered, Approved by WIAPS
See our WaterSafe listing here
Outside your house, usually on the footpath, is an external stoptap. Sometimes it’s necessary to turn this off if the supply to your house is leaking, there’s a fault, or you need to replace the internal stoptap. Until May 2023 Yorkshire Water would attend for free to repair or replace the external stoptap, but their policy has now changed and they will not attend unless there’s an urgent risk to health, such as no water to the property or a confirmed serious internal leak. This makes our job more challenging, however we can often help by clearing the outside tap, fitting a new stop tap elsewhere, or using our pipe-freezing machine. Yorkshire Water website here

A Little About the Owner… Mark, the Original Emergency Plumber
Mark’s journey into the world of plumbing began at the age of 14, immersing himself in the family business alongside his father and brother. His childhood home was above a bathroom shop. By 16, Mark was not only working full-time but also building his skills at Leeds College of Building, specialising in replacing outdated cast-iron baths with modern coloured bathroom suites. His early years were mainly spent installing bathroom suites and central heating systems in terraced houses, some of which had never had such amenities before.
Embarking as a self-employed plumber at 26, Mark joined Corgi, now known as Gas Safe. His expertise extended beyond plumbing as he carried out gas safety inspections across railway stations as well as properties all over Leeds. He also worked for a catering equipment company, fitting and maintaining commercial catering equipment.
By his mid-30s, Mark shifted his focus towards emergency repairs, working with national firms like Able, React Fast and Alliance. It was during this period, around the year 2000, that Emergencyman was born. Identifying a niche for swift, reliable and honest plumbing services, Mark established a brand that quickly became synonymous with excellence. To this day we still only cover Leeds and very nearby areas, as we find this offers the best service to our customers. Emergencyman.co.uk was one of the very first plumbing websites in Leeds, launched in 2002.
Over the years, Emergencyman has flourished, benefiting from a close partnership with Keith, a veteran of the drain-unblocking sector with 45 years of experience. Today the business runs a dedicated drain-unblocking van, a testament to its growth and specialisation.
Now in his 50s, Mark’s commitment to professional development remains unwavering. He recently achieved certification in water regulations and is fully qualified in unvented hot water systems, underscoring his dedication to staying at the forefront of the trade. Our bread and butter is still emergency plumbing.
Calls are answered by a dedicated team, as Mark believes it’s wrong to talk to another customer on the phone while doing work for a paying customer.
While Mark may not personally attend every call these days, his legacy of quality, integrity and customer satisfaction continues. Each member of the team carries the same standards and values on which Emergencyman was built, so every job is not just completed but a promise kept.
A Leeds-based plumber that also serves the surrounding areas, available 24 hours a day in Roundhay, Cookridge, Cross Gates, Headingley, Horsforth, Morley, Pudsey, Seacroft, Tadcaster and Wetherby.

Winter Plumbing Advice to Prevent Frozen & Burst Pipes in Leeds
When temperatures drop in Leeds, frozen pipes quickly become one of the most common plumbing emergencies. A burst pipe can cause serious water damage and costly repairs — but most winter plumbing problems are preventable with a few simple checks. Below are our practical winter plumbing tips to help protect your home.
1. Locate and Test Your Mains Stop Tap
Every homeowner should know where their mains stop tap is. It’s often:
- Under the kitchen sink
- In a pantry or cupboard
- In a garage or basement
If you’re unsure, trace a cold water pipe backwards until you find the valve. If your property has a Yorkshire Water meter, you may also be able to shut off the supply there.
Important: turn the stop tap gently to make sure it works. If it’s seized or stiff, it’s far better to deal with it now than during an emergency. If you can’t locate or operate your stop tap, call us on 0113 232 9556 and we’ll help.
2. Protect Your Outside Garden Tap
The outside tap is the most common pipe to freeze. If your outside tap has an internal isolation valve:
- Turn it off now
- Open the outside tap and leave it open to drain
If it can’t be isolated:
- Insulate all exposed pipework
- Fit a proper outdoor tap cover
Be aware: in severe frost, insulation alone may not prevent freezing. We strongly recommend having an internal isolation valve fitted before winter.
3. Prevent Frozen Boiler Condensate Pipes
A frozen condensate pipe is one of the biggest winter call-outs in Leeds. If your condensate pipe runs externally:
- The discharged water can freeze
- Ice blocks the pipe
- The boiler locks out and stops working
This often happens on the coldest days of the year. To reduce the risk:
- Make sure the external pipe is properly insulated
- Increase the pipe diameter where possible
- Consider rerouting the condensate pipe internally
If your boiler keeps cutting out during frost, we can advise and upgrade the pipework properly.
4. Pipes in Lofts and Roof Spaces
Older properties sometimes have water tanks or pipework in the loft. If you have:
- A vented hot water cylinder
- Cold water storage tanks
then your loft pipework must be insulated correctly. Homes with modern combination boilers are less likely to have water pipes in the roof space — but it’s always worth checking.
5. Leaking Toilets Can Freeze Soil Stacks
If your toilet constantly trickles water into the pan, it’s more than just wasted water. In freezing conditions:
- The constant flow runs down the soil stack
- The stack can freeze solid
- The toilet becomes impossible to flush
There’s no quick fix once a soil stack freezes — prevention is essential. If your toilet is running or “letting by”, we can repair it before winter causes a bigger issue.
Frozen Pipes in Leeds — Be Prepared
Frozen pipes don’t happen every winter — but when we get a proper frost, plumbing emergencies increase dramatically. During severe cold weather:
- Emergency plumbers become fully booked
- Response times increase
- Same-day service may not always be possible
The best approach is prevention. If you’d like a winter plumbing check or advice on protecting your pipework, call our Leeds plumbers on 0113 232 9556 before the freezing weather arrives.
