Yorkshire Water External Stoptap – We are Watersafe Registered – Approved by WIAPS

Emergencyman Watersafe here

Outside your house, usually on the footpath is an external stoptap. Sometimes it is neccesary to turn this off if the supply to your house is leaking or there is a fault or you need to replace the internal stoptap. Until May 2023 Yorkshire water would attend for free and repair or replace the external stoptap but their policy has now changed and they will now not attend  unless there is an urgent risk to health such as no water to the property or a confirmed serious internal leak. This makes our job challenging, howevor 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was not only working full-time but also enhancing his skills at Leeds College of Building, specialicing in replacing outdated cast iron baths with modern coloured bathroom suites. His early years were mainly spent on the installation of bathroom suites and central heating systems in terraced house, 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 conducted gas safety inspections across Railway stations as well as properties all over Leeds. He also worked for a catering equipment company fitting and maintain 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, launced in 2002.

Over the years, Emergencyman has flourished, benefiting from a close partnership with Keith, a veteran in the drain unblocking sector with 45 years of experience. Today, the business boasts 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 also is fully qualified in unvented hot water systems, underscoring his dedication to staying at the forefront of the industry. Our bread and butter is still Emergency plumbing

Calls are answered by a dedicated team as Mark believes that it is wrong to talk to another customer on the phone while doing work for another paying customer

While Mark may not personally attend every call in the present day, his legacy of quality, integrity, and customer satisfaction continues. Each member of his team is a bearer of the same standards and values upon which Emergencyman was built, guaranteeing that every service rendered is not just a job completed but a promise kept.

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 located.

It is 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 water supply there.

Important: Turn the stop tap gently to make sure it operates. If it’s seized or stiff, it’s far better to deal with it now than during a plumbing emergency.

If you can’t locate or operate your stop tap, call us on 0113 2329556 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 cannot 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 callouts 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:

• Ensure the external pipe is properly insulated

• Increase 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 a waste of water.

In freezing conditions:

• The constant flow runs down the soil stack

• The stack can freeze solid

• The toilet becomes impossible to flush

There is 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 need advice about protecting your pipework, call our Leeds plumbers on 0113 2329556 before the freezing weather arrives.
