I got a call one Saturday after from a Polish fella. His Kitchen was flooded with uncomfortable burst pipe.I have to stand corrected, I was mis-remembering the story. It wasn't my sister and it wasn't the central heating. It was one of my tenants and the alarm went off and they couldn't shut it down. This was maybe midnight give or take. The rest is still accurate though. They phoned a local electrical/alarm business that offered 24/7 support. However when the tenant phoned, before they could speak all they got was a mouthful and hung up on. It was at this point the tenant phoned me. More by luck than anything, I found a guy via Google that said he'd be there within the hour. Think it cost me £150 or something ... and all he did was cut the wire!
Got there controlled the water and fixed thr problem.
He told me that he called one 24 hour service who said that he couldn't be bothered coming out.
Not even when he explained the water was gushing out.
