Out of Hours Emergencies

You can call our emergency out-of-hours service on 0800 678 1221.

It is answered by a third-party provider on our behalf and is in place:

overnight (from 8pm to 8am), Monday to Saturday;
from 1pm Saturday until 8am on Monday;
and all day on bank holidays.

Emergencies are defined as any situation where there’s an immediate risk to someone’s health, safety or security, such as:

Your heating or hot water system failing
An uncontainable water leak
A complete failure of your electrics (where it isn’t an appliance or supplier issue)
A threat of severe flooding
Loss of security to entrance doors or windows.

This isn’t a complete list, but rather a few examples of what we define as an emergency.

Let us know when you call us if there are any reasonable adjustments we need to be aware of.

If we attend an out-of-hours emergency, we will make it safe then and there, but we may not be able to complete the repair. Any non-essential follow-up work will be completed in usual working hours. Any general enquiries or non-emergency calls will be referred to us to be resolved in normal working hours.

If you have a defect related emergency in a new build, check your how long your warranty is for and what it covers. Some repairs may be covered under guarantee by the builder or supplier. If you’re not sure, call us.

If you suspect a gas leak, do not use switches or appliances, open all doors and windows, extinguish all naked flames, turn off your gas supply at the gas meter, and leave the house. To report a gas related emergency, call National Grid on 0800 111 999.

You can find more information on the home safety pages of our website.

Please note that you won't be offered a date or time slot for the repair - we may get multiple requests for the same repair so we check all requests first to avoid duplicating repairs bookings.

If an emergency repair is needed, please phone us as soon as possible.
