What is an Emergency?
Central heating and hot water – Complete failure of the combined central heating/hot water system and no immersion heater. Before calling, please check that this has not been caused by local electricity or gas supply problems, lack of oil, or by incorrectly setting your timer or thermostat, or by any shut off device that can be reset by the user (refer to boiler/cylinder instructions for further details).
Water supply – Complete loss of water supply. Before calling, please check that your water supplier has not turned off the water to carry out repair work in the area.
Water leak – When a leak cannot be contained and is causing damage, particularly if it is leaking into an electrical fitting.
Gas Leak – Please contact National Grid Emergencies on the emergency number 0800 111 999, before calling us. Their website details are http://www.nationalgrid.com/UK
Total loss of Gas – Before calling us, please check that your gas supplier has not turned off the mains to carry out repair work in the area.
Loss of power supply to socket outlets – When there is a total loss throughout the property and it cannot be solved by resetting the meter trip switch. Check that your electricity supplier has not turned off the mains to carry out repair work and that there is no local power failure. Please unplug all appliances from sockets, reset the master trip and re-connect all appliances one at a time, this simple step can often identify faulty appliance.
