Emergencies

An emergency arises where there is danger to life or limb or serious damage to property. We aim to undertake emergency repairs within 6 hours. The following are emergencies:

• A failure in the mains electrical supply, other than a power cut
• A dangerous electrical fault
• A burst water pipe or water tank
• A blocked drain, if there is serious leakage
• A blocked or totally unusable WC, if there is only one in the house
• A property that is insecure, with a broken window or a damaged door, following an event such as a break-in or possibly storm damage

An emergency also arises if someone is locked in or locked out if the person:

• Is elderly or disabled
• Has other special needs
• Is a young child

For all other tenants, being locked out due to a loss of keys is not an emergency and the replacement of keys will need to wait until our office is open.
