These repairs may seriously affect how you use your home or its facilities.
Urgent repairs might include:
- minor plumbing leaks
- faulty door entry systems
- a faulty shared TV aerial
- damaged stairs and handrails
- floor damage that puts people’s health and safety at risk
- a severe roof leak, or
- partial loss of electricity (not caused by one of your appliances tripping the power supply.

Emergency repairs might include:

- total loss of electricity (not caused by one of your appliances tripping out the power supply)
- a blocked drain
- a blocked toilet (if you only have one and you have tried to clear the blockage)
- flooding to your home
