If there’s a danger to life or property, phone us right away using the number on this page. 

We prioritise homes affected by fire or flood, or where someone elderly, frail, or a baby under the age of one lives.

Emergency examples include:

  • smell of gas (call National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately)
  • burst pipes or serious water leaks
  • no electricity, heating or hot water
  • fire damage
  • blocked toilets or drains causing flooding
  • smashed windows or insecure external doors
  • dangerous electrics
  • smoke or heat alarm sounding
  • lost or broken keys are preventing access

When you call, we’ll ask some questions and confirm access so we can respond quickly. See repair timescales and gas or heating emergencies.
