For most plumbing work, yes — you or another responsible adult should be present. The plumber will need access to the affected area and may need to discuss the repair options with you. If you cannot be there, you can authorise someone else to be present on your behalf, but make sure they can make decisions about the work.

A dripping tap is not usually a plumbing emergency, but it should not be ignored. A tap dripping once per second wastes over 15,000 litres of water per year, adding roughly £30–£50 to your water bill. It can also cause limescale buildup and eventually damage the tap mechanism beyond simple repair. Book a plumber for a non-urgent appointment to replace the washer or cartridge.

When temperatures in Norwich drop below freezing, water inside your pipes expands as it turns to ice. This expansion creates enormous pressure — enough to split copper and plastic pipes. The burst often only becomes apparent when the ice thaws and water starts flowing through the crack. Insulating exposed pipes in lofts, garages and exterior walls is the best prevention.
