Emergency repairs
You can book an emergency repair at any time by calling 01344 382800 or freephone 0800 692 3000. We respond to all emergency repair requests within 24 hours, or sooner if it affects health and safety.
We will only visit your property straight away if health and safety is judged to be severely and immediately at risk, or if serious property damage is taking place.
If you provide any incorrect information or if it is not an emergency, we may charge you for the cost of the work.
Sometimes, we will implement a temporary fix to stop the problem from becoming dangerous and will return at a later date to permanently repair the issue. This second appointment will be booked for a time that is convenient for you.
