Emergency Repairs

These are repairs that you need help with urgently, such as loss of electricity, a blocked toilet (where the property only has one toilet) or a major water leak. We will endeavour to send help within four hours if your repair is classed as an emergency. For urgent repairs please call 01473 432000. The team can also raise non-urgent repairs if required if you do not use online services.

Out of hours (emergency repairs only)

If you have an emergency after 17:00 or during a weekend, telephone 01473 432000. This will put you through to our out of hours service which is provided 365 days a year. Our trained staff will assess your situation and dispatch emergency tradesmen as required.

Preparing to book a repair

To help us serve you better, please gather as much information as possible before contacting us. For instance:

  • Shower not working: Please make note of the make and model of the shower before you call - not only will this save you time while you are on the phone, it will also ensure that your repair can be completed quickly, with our tradesman arriving with the correct parts.
  • Windows: Note whether they are single or double-glazed and whether they have UPVC or wooden frames.
  • Taps: Identify the material (plastic, stainless steel, or chrome) and type (mixer or lever).
  • Doors: Confirm whether they are wooden or UPVC and the type of lock (mortice or Yale).
  • Leaks: Determine where the leak is coming from (e.g., water pipe, waste pipe, loft, or guttering).
  • Electricity Loss: Check your fuse board, verify if there’s a power outage in your area, and ensure your electricity card has credit.
