We’re Billy Emergency Plumbing and Drainage, an independent plumbing and drainage company based at 16 Adlington Crescent in Sheffield S5. Barnsley is a short trip up the M1 from us, so whether you’re in the town centre, out in Penistone or over in Wombwell and Hoyland, we can get to you fast.

We’re here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, bank holidays included. Ring us and you’ll get straight through to your local plumber, not a call centre, and for emergencies we aim to be with you in under 60 minutes. There’s no call-out charge, the estimate is free, and we’ll agree the price with you before we pick up a tool.

Because we do plumbing and drainage, you only need to make one call. If a slow sink turns out to be a blocked drain outside, we deal with that too, without sending you off to find somebody else.

Not Just Emergencies: Everyday & Planned Plumbing in Barnsley

We get called out to a lot of emergencies, but plenty of our work in Barnsley is planned. Small jobs, big jobs, and everything in between. For anything that isn’t urgent, we’ll pop round, give you a free estimate and book it in when it suits you.

Small jobs

Leaky taps, a toilet that won’t stop running, a sink that drains slowly, or a washing machine to plumb in.

Bigger work

Plumbing for a new bathroom, replacing lead pipes, new drains or relining a damaged drain.

Checks before you build or buy

A CCTV drain survey on a house you’re buying, or drain tracing before an extension.

Big or small, it’s the same service: one local plumber to deal with, a price agreed up front, and a tidy finish.

Case study: the shower leak that came back

The problem

Water was leaking from a bathroom into the dining room below. We came out within a couple of hours and resealed around the shower, but after the advised wait, the water came through again.

What we did

Back out within the hour. We checked all the previous sealing, levelled the shower tray and resealed everything again, and didn’t charge for the second visit.

The result

No more leaks months later. In the customer’s words: “Billy didn’t charge any extra on his second call out which was very generous.”
