From Tuesday 6 April 2021, we will be returning to a full repairs service. As social distancing rules are still in place, some repairs may take longer to ensure we continue to keep you and our team safe.
If you or your household test positive for coronavirus, we will only carry out emergency make safe repairs until it is safe for both you and us to carry out normal repairs.
When you call to request a repair, our call centre will provide you with full details of our repair service. We will continue to follow government guidelines and will keep this page updated.
We are grateful to everyone for their understanding during this challenging time.

Our repairs are carried by our subsidiary, the Phoenix Repairs Service.
