EMERGENCIES / URGENT REPAIRS

Got an emergency and don't know who to call for help?

​

Fire

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.

  • 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 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

  • Call us on 07500 220715 / 07557 731 so we can help diagnose the issue and arrange an engineer.​
