Dunbar mixes historic harbour-side properties, Victorian villas along the seafront and modern estates inland. The town sits in one of the sunniest, driest pockets in Scotland but still gets serious easterly exposure on the coast — which changes how outdoor pipework, flue terminations and heat-pump units need to be specified.
24/7 emergency plumbing and heating cover across Dunbar — burst pipes, no-heat call-outs, no-hot-water faults, leaking cylinders and overflowing tanks. The out-of-hours line is answered locally by an engineer, not a national call centre, so you get an honest ETA and a clear first-step over the phone (where to turn the stop-tap, how to drain the system) before we even arrive on site.
When a pipe bursts in Dunbar the priority is stopping the water, drying the area and stabilising the system before any cosmetic repair. Our 24/7 line is answered locally — not routed through a national call centre — so you talk to an engineer who knows EH42 road access and can give an honest ETA rather than a vague "within the hour".
Travel from our Kelso base: 55 minutes via the A1.
Every emergency call-out in Dunbar is followed up the next working day with a written summary, photos and a plain-English fix-vs-replace recommendation.
Step 1
Talk to an engineer, not a call handler. Get clear safe-isolation guidance.
Step 2
Real travel time from Kelso quoted before we leave — no vague promises.
Step 3
Stop the leak, restore safe pressure, isolate any damaged appliance.
Step 4
Photos, root-cause and a fix-vs-replace recommendation in writing the next day.
Yes — we run dedicated East Lothian days that take in Dunbar, so EH42 work is scheduled efficiently rather than as a one-off long trip.
Yes — corrosion-resistant flue terminations and external pipework are well worth specifying on harbour-side EH42 properties. We do this as standard.
Burst pipe, uncontrolled leak, no heating in winter, no hot water, gas smell, flue fault or overflowing tank. Anything that risks property damage, health or safety qualifies for our out-of-hours service.
Out-of-hours call-out plus first hour is fixed — we'll quote it openly on the call before dispatch. Parts and any extended work are quoted in writing before chargeable hours start ticking.
