How soon will you visit me after I report an emergency repair?

Some requests may be deemed an urgent repair with a 5 day priority. If this is the case then we will inform you of this during the call.

We will visit your home to assess the issue within 24 hours.

There may be occasions during particularly busy times, such as adverse weather conditions, whereby we have more emergencies than usual reported, and in this case we may take slightly longer.

However, we will inform you when you call if this is the case.
