Emergency repairs are usually dealt with within the first few hours of them being reported. We'll usually carry out a temporary repair to make the situation safe and then a permanent repair will be carried out as soon as possible afterwards.
If you use the emergency number to tell us about a non-urgent repair, we'll ask you to call back between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, to report the repair in the usual way.
