On Call Plumbers

[Ricanna]

Does anyone know whether there are plumbers on call over the holiday. My water has just unfrozen for the first time since Wednesday and I have a fairly major leak. It is in the steading but in the supply to the house part. Perhaps a vain hope but hought it worth asking. Location --just outside Thurso on the Weydale side. Thanks

not sure about any on call plumbers but a quick temporary fix is cut out the burst bit of pipe and fasten a length of garden hose over it with some jubilee clips (if it's a close enough size) so you can at least get water in to the house or if you have any some denso tape may help a bit.

hope you get it sorted, we've been very lucky so far and never had frozen pipes at home even when the pipe was bare and above ground until earlier this summer!

Tremendous--I will try and find a suitable saw for the pipe that has a blade and try that-- Cheers, most grateful!
