Mapperley · a January night

A split pipe in a Mapperley loft at 2.14am

How it went

Priya crouched between the joists of a dark loft by head torch, gripping a split copper pipe as water sprays from it into the insulation.
  • Water off in four minutes
  • With them in 26 minutes
  • Made safe by 2.55am

41 minutes on site

Sam rang at 2.14am with water coming through the landing light. Joe talked him through the stop tap under the kitchen sink while they were still on the phone, then had him switch the lights off at the fuse board. Priya was there 26 minutes later: a cold pipe in the loft had split in the frost. She cut out the split section by torchlight, capped it and had the downstairs water back on by 2.55am, then came back at nine to fit a new section and lag every pipe in the loft. The landing ceiling dried out without coming down.

During

Priya in the loft by head torch, her gloved hands fitting a cap to the cut end of a copper pipe, the split section lying on the joist beside her.

After

The same loft by day, the new pipework wrapped in grey foam insulation and run along the joists.

The man on the phone had the water off before I'd found my glasses.
