Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is classed as an emergency repair?
An emergency repair would include issues that need to be fixed as soon as possible. Examples include, burst pipe/flood, fire or vandalism, significantly blocked drains, or anything that would be a danger to your health and safety or likely to cause damage to the property such as the smell of gas or a serious electrical fault. (See end of page for emergencies involving gas).
2. What should I do in case of an emergency?
If we manage the property you are renting and you need to report a repair, please call us to avoid any delay in being able to assist. If outside of Property Management hours, please contact a qualified local tradesman to prevent any danger to your health and safety and any damage to the property.
For these visits please obtain a receipt for any emergency contractor and send to us as soon as possible so we can arrange reimbursement.
Please note, if the issue was not deemed to be an emergency your landlord may not reimburse the full cost of the repair.
