We aim to carry out all emergency repairs within 24 hours.

If a situation poses an immediate risk to health, life, property, or environment, call the emergency services on 999 straight away.

For more complicated emergency repairs, our contractors might need to make the repair safe within the first 24 hours, and then come back to complete the repair another time.

Who to contact in an emergency

To report an emergency at any time, call our usual office number on 0114 228 8100.

Out of office hours, instructions will be available for you to follow to get the help you need.
