What you can post
Start with the outcome you need.
These are live plumbing job types on Sortd. Your brief can be edited before it reaches professionals.
Burst pipes
State whether the water is isolated, where the pipe is located and what areas or belongings are affected.
Leaking taps
Share photos, the tap type if known and whether the leak comes from the spout, base or pipework below.
Toilet repairs
Describe flushing, filling, leaking or blockage symptoms and whether the toilet can still be used.
Showers and radiators
For installations or moves, include the existing connections, dimensions and whether the new item is supplied.
A better brief
Give professionals enough to choose well.
Useful detail reduces back-and-forth and makes it easier to judge timing, access and the likely scope.
Say where the water appears
A leak at a valve, joint, ceiling or appliance points to very different access and repair work.
Describe urgency honestly
Mention active water flow, loss of facilities and vulnerable areas. If safe, isolate the supply before waiting for a booking.
Add fixture and access photos
Show the full fixture, nearby pipework and the space beneath or behind it without dismantling anything unsafe.
How Sortd works
From plain-English request to a clear booking.

A professional chooses it
Relevant local professionals can review the scope, timing and offered rate before accepting or proposing a change.
- 03
Review, book and track
Confirm the professional, rate, minimum and service fee, then keep messages, completion and payment together.
Before work starts
Active leaks need damage control
If water is escaping, protect people and property first. Isolate the relevant supply only if you know how to do so safely, keep clear of electrics and describe the current state in the job brief.
