What affects the price of a plumbing job in Northwich?

It really depends on the job. A dripping tap 24 hour plumber in Lymm in Winsford is a different world to a full bathroom repipe in Middlewich. Access matters too, older Victorian terraces in Over can take longer than a modern semi in Appleton Thorn. Parts, whether it's an evening call-out, and how long diagnosis takes all play into the final figure.

What actually counts as a plumbing emergency?

Burst pipes, no heating in winter, overflowing toilets, or a boiler leaking gas or water are the obvious ones. If water's pouring where it shouldn't be, or you can smell gas, that's urgent. A slow drip from a tap can usually wait until the morning. When in doubt, ring and describe it, a decent Northwich plumber will tell you straight whether it's genuinely urgent.
