Emergency repairs are needed when there’s a risk to your safety, serious damage to your home, or an urgent issue that needs immediate attention. These include:

  • A water leak that cannot be contained
  • Total loss of electricity or water supply
  • Fire damage or flooding
  • Major structural damage
  • Repairs to doors and windows to secure your home
  • Blocked main drain or only toilet
  • Total loss of heating (with no alternative available)
  • A lift that is out of order
  • Offensive or discriminatory graffiti

If you have an emergency repair, we’ll send a qualified contractor within two hours to assess the situation and make it safe. If the repair can’t be completed straight away, we’ll carry out the necessary work within 24 hours.

If specialist parts are needed, it may take longer, but we’ll keep you updated and agree on a time to return.

 

To help us resolve your repair as quickly as possible, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the Issue
  • Check whether your repair is an emergency, urgent, or routine so we can respond appropriately.
  1. Provide Details

When reporting a repair, give as much detail as possible, including:

  • The type of issue (e.g., water leak, electrical fault)
  • Where the problem is in your home
  • Any immediate risks or hazards

  • Poor DIY work that needs fixing.
  • Damage caused by you, your household, visitors, or pets.
  • Lost keys requiring lock replacements.
  • Missed appointments for agreed repairs.
  • Leaving rubbish behind when moving out.

We will always discuss costs with you before proceeding, except in emergencies where delays would cause safety risks or further damage.
