When it is an emergency (what to do right now)

• Stop the water at the stopcock, contain with towels or buckets, and move electrics or valuables.
  
  
• Note: TaskHer does not currently offer emergency call-outs. For emergencies, you will need a 24/7 provider.

Credentials you must check (for safety and compliance)

• Gas Safe (legal requirement for gas): Any work on a boiler, gas fire, hob, or gas appliance must be performed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Landlords must arrange annual gas safety checks and provide records to tenants.
  
  
• WaterSafe (potable water regulations): WaterSafe-approved plumbers are trained in UK Water Fittings Regulations. For certain Thames Water connections, a WaterSafe plumber can self-certify, saving you an inspection step.
  
  

How London’s housing quirks affect your job

• Older pipework in Victorian or Edwardian flats can slow diagnosis and increase job time.
  
  
• Hard water drives limescale issues in showers and taps.
  
  
• Access and parking: confirm whether the company absorbs parking or ULEZ charges or bills them on top.
