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 contact centre. We will contact you if there are any questions or issues that you need to be aware of. 

Smell Gas?

If you smell gas you should turn off all gas appliances, open all doors and windows and call the National Gas Emergency Service number on 0800 111 999. This is an important step when you suspect a gas leak. The number operates 24/7 and is free to call.
