Only threats to the property which require immediate action are considered emergencies.

For example;

If your only toilet is broken.

If you have a broken key/door/lock and are unable to get in or out of the property.

Any leak that is more than a drip or cannot be contained in a bucket.

Only if early in the evening or at the start of the weekend and if it’s very cold and there are no other means of hot water.

If you become stuck in a lift follow the guidance in the lift.

If the lift is not operational please report this to property maintenance.

In the event of a power failure to any part of the house, the fuse box is the first area that should be checked.

We will be able to advise the location of the stopcock if you cannot find it.

In the first instance please call the fire brigade.

In the first instance exit the building and report to the police.

If there is no evidence of a fire and the alarm will not stop.

If a blockage is causing a leak or flooding and cannot wait until the next day.
