EMERGENCIES / URGENT REPAIRS
Got an emergency and don't know who to call for help?
Fire
Act fast. Close the doors if you are able to as this will delay the spread of fire.
Leave the building quickly, get everybody out and call 999.
- If a door feels warm, do not open it.
- Your fire assembly point is the street out the front of the property, as far away from the property as possible.
If you are cut off by fire:
Smoke is as deadly as flames. Close the door and any other openings and block cracks with bedding etc.
If the room becomes smokey, stay low, it’s easier to breathe.
Think about making your escape quickly. If the window is jammed, break it, remove jagged glass from the lower sill and cover it up with a blanket.
Try to attract attention.
If your bedroom is on an upper floor, drop cushions or bedding to the ground to break your fall if you feel able to do so.
Get out feet first and lower yourself to the full length of your arms before dropping.
Water Leak
In the event of a water leak, switch off all water using the stopcock. Call us immediately on 07500 220715 or 07557 731755.
If you’re unable to get hold of us, please call an emergency plumber on either 07730 070689 or 07709 191923.
Smell Gas
If you smell gas, call the Gas Emergency Services line on 0800 111 999 and leave the house until you have further instruction from the Gas Emergency Services line.
All of our properties are fitted with carbon monoxide detectors. If this sounds, open windows and call us on 07500 220715 or 07557 731755.
Heating / Hot Water
If the boiler is not providing heating or hot water, we may need to call an engineer.
You may be able to diagnose the issue yourself by:
Checking the programmer set-up and changing to be on constant
Re-setting the boiler
Bleeding the radiators
