Over the festive period there’ll be some changes to our normal services.

The changes will be in effect from 12:30pm on Wednesday 24th December 2025 until 8am on Friday 2nd January.

Reporting repairs
During this time we will only be able to deal with emergency repairs.  If you have an emergency repair to report, please call us on 0300 777 3000.  (You can check what we class as an emergency on our website.)

You can still report non-emergency issues with your home on our website page during the Christmas period. If you report an issue via the page, a member of the team will contact you when we return in the new year.

Gas leak
If you smell gas or suspect that there is a leak in or around your home, call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999
