Emergency repairs

​An emergency repair immediately affects your health, safety or security and would endanger life or, if not repaired, will cause damage to the building.

Emergency repairs will be attended within 24 hours. On this basis, appointments are not available for emergency repairs. Often the solution is to make the immediate risk safe with further routine repairs needed to fix the issue.

Please call us on 0300 123 2221 if you believe your repair is an emergency.

What do we class as an emergency?

How to report a repair?

You can report a repair in a number of different ways, but in an emergency we'd always recommend you telephone us.

Please do not report your repair through our social media channels as this could cause a delay in us responding.
