If you have an uncontrollable leak, please turn off your water supply with your stop cock.
If you have a blocked toilet, drain or sink, please attempt to remove the blockage yourself in the first instance. If this is unsuccessful and it is your only facility of this nature, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our emergency plumber. Otherwise, please report via the maintenance inbox.

Emergency call-outs are charged at a double time, so before calling them out, you must be sure that the situation is an emergency; otherwise, you could be liable for the charge. You will also be charged if you are responsible for the call-out. For example, if you lose your key and require a locksmith to gain entry to your property, you will be liable for their call-out, labour and material costs. If you require a household appliance to be repaired, please wait until the office is open to report the fault, as repairs to appliances are not classed as an emergency.
