Response times for emergency repairs

When you report an emergency repair to us, we'll attend within 24 hours of your call. We're afraid we can't give you a specific appointment time, or let you know when we're on our way to your property.

Please try to avoid calling us again to find out what time we will be attending, as this can put additional pressure on our emergency control centre. We will contact you if there are any questions or issues that you need to be aware of. 

Non emergency Repairs

You can report routine repairs that are not an emergency to our team until 4pm on Monday 23 December. The team will return on Thursday 2 January from 9am. It is anticipated that call waiting times may be high, your patience is appreciated.
