5-star reviews • Local Belfast plumbers • Priority winter call-outs
When water freezes, it expands. This creates pressure inside the pipe until it splits. A burst pipe can release hundreds of litres of water in minutes, flooding your home and damaging walls, floors, and electrics.
Belfast’s older housing stock, uninsulated loft spaces, and exposed pipe runs make homes especially vulnerable during cold snaps. That’s why we prioritise frozen pipe emergencies in winter.
We keep things clear and practical:
1. Immediate advice: our engineers guide you by phone to limit damage.
2. Safe thawing: frozen sections thawed carefully to avoid splitting.
3. Pipe repair or replacement: faulty joints or sections repaired the same day.
4. System check: boiler and heating tested for leaks and pressure.
5. Insurer documentation: photos and repair notes prepared for claims.
We also provide: Comprehensive Plumbing Pipe Repair Belfast for split copper, PEX, or MDPE lines following freezing. We replace damaged sections, pressure-test the system, and advise on insulation to prevent future cold-weather failures.
We don’t just fix frozen pipes. We help you prevent them coming back:
