Emergency contact numbers for managed property tenants

 

In the event of a serious problem regarding your property when our office is closed, please note the emergency contact details below. The emergency numbers are only if you are renting a managed property through us. In the event the problem is not deemed an emergency or where the fault is as a result of damage or something that is not the responsibility of your landlord, you may incur a charge for any callout. Please note that these numbers are only to be used if you have a serious emergency that cannot wait until our offices are open.

 

If you’re not renting a managed property, please contact your landlord directly.

 

What to do before calling our contractors

As a tenant, you have a duty to minimise expense to your landlord. Before calling an emergency contractor, please check any manuals and/or relevant home care policy details you've been supplied with.

In the event of electrical failure and where it is safe to do so, please check trip switches and fuses.

In the event of loss of heating, do check the boiler/timer manual and revisit the settings before calling our contractors.

Should a leak occur, please try and isolate the water supply using the stopcock to prevent additional damage.
