Emergency repairs

 

Urgent advice for gas leaks

If you have a gas leak, call the National Gas Emergency Services on 0800 111 999 (freephone) immediately.

You then need to open all your doors and windows, and put out all flames (do not do anything which could cause ignition, such as smoke or strike a match). Leave all electrical switches alone, and open any electrical security entry phones or locks manually.

Emergency or urgent repairs must be reported to us immediately (in office hours) by calling 0300 123 4000 (option 3).

If you have an emergency repair outside our office hours, then please call 0808 168 7794.
