24 Hour Emergency Plumbers in Stretford and Old Trafford

AquaDash covers the M32 area at any hour, including Stretford town centre, Old Trafford, Gorse Hill, Firswood, Lostock and the streets running down to the Bridgewater Canal. One call gets you a real person, day or night.

Terraced streets share their drainage

Most of Stretford and Gorse Hill is Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing built with shared drainage runs behind the properties. That single fact explains a large share of the calls we take here. Waste backing up into your kitchen sink or downstairs toilet frequently originates two or three houses along the row, not under your own floor.

It matters commercially as well as practically. If the blockage sits in a shared run, responsibility may not be yours alone, and in some cases it falls to United Utilities. We identify where the blockage actually is before any work starts, and we tell you honestly if it is not your bill to pay. Plenty of households in this area have been charged for clearing a section that was never their responsibility.

Match days genuinely affect response times

With Old Trafford football ground and Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground both inside our patch, Chester Road and the A56 become close to impassable for several hours around fixtures. We plan around it and approach from the Kingsway or Talbot Road side where we can, but we will be straight with you when you call: on a match day our arrival window into Old Trafford and Gorse Hill is longer, and you deserve to know that before you wait.

Common Stretford call-outs

• Waste backing up from shared rear drainage runs
• Burst pipes in cellars and unheated back kitchens
• Leaking or corroded lead and early copper supply pipes in unmodernised terraces
• Failed toilet cisterns and overflowing pans in upstairs bathroom extensions
• Commercial call-outs across the Trafford Park estate

Commercial and light industrial work

Trafford Park sits on our doorstep. We attend units, warehouses and small business premises for burst mains, blocked staff facilities and failed water heaters, and we understand that for a business the cost of being shut is usually larger than the cost of the repair.

What to do before we get there

In an older Stretford terrace the internal stopcock is often under the kitchen sink or in the cellar head, and the external one under a small metal cover on the pavement outside. Turn the internal one off first. If waste is backing up rather than clean water escaping, stop using every sink, bath and toilet in the house, because each further litre makes the flood worse.
