We’re Billy Emergency Plumbing and Drainage, a local plumbing company based in Sheffield. Your stopcock is what stops the water in an emergency, so if it’s stuck, leaking, hard to reach or won’t turn the water off fully, it needs sorting before you need it. If a pipe has already burst, see our burst pipe repairs service.
Our team includes highly experienced plumbers who offer 24/7 local plumbing and drainage services, for both homes and businesses across Sheffield and South Yorkshire.

Every job is different, but a typical stopcock call-out follows the same steps.
We locate your stopcock, including ones hidden behind units, boxing or flooring.
We check whether it turns freely, shuts the water off fully and isn’t leaking.
We repair the stopcock or replace it with a new one if it’s seized, leaking or worn out.
We test the new or repaired stopcock and show you where it is and how to use it.

Real reviews from customers who called us about stop taps and valves.
Called out to deal with an emergency situation when our stop tap was inaccessible. Billy came out straight away, dealt with the situation and was very reasonably priced. Top service and would definitely recommend.
Damian was fab. Friendly and competent, and was available to come round exactly when we needed him. When he went to get a part he came straight back, and made sure we had the water on while he was gone. He showed us where our stopcock was (new house and we had no idea!) and even did a little non-emergency job while he was here. Thanks!
Excellent service. Fixed leak at toilet and stop valve. Came to the house quickly.
Renault came and managed to remove the old appliance connections that had become too tough to remove. Good thing we had called for help as the valve snapped whilst trying to get the connections undone. Thank you, we can now schedule the redelivery and fitting of appliance.
When you call us about a stopcock, you speak directly to your local plumber, not a call centre. We aim to be at your door in under 60 minutes, day or night.
Answers to the questions customers ask before booking.
In most homes it’s under the kitchen sink. It can also be in a downstairs toilet, a utility room, a cellar or near where the water supply enters the house.
Stopcocks that aren’t used for years often seize up. Don’t force it with tools, as it can snap and make things worse. Call us and we’ll free it or replace it.
A small drip from the spindle can get worse over time and damage cupboards or flooring. It’s best to get it checked before it becomes a bigger leak.
If it’s seized, leaking or doesn’t shut the water off fully, replacing it means you can turn your water off quickly in an emergency, such as a burst pipe or a leaking toilet.
The outside stop tap is usually under a small cover near your property boundary and is often the water company’s responsibility. Check with your water company if it needs work.
No. We never charge for call-outs, and we offer free estimates.
