This service must only be used in a real emergency, likely to be life threatening or cause serious injury to persons or significant damage to property. If you use the emergency service for work that is not an emergency, you will be recharged for the full costs of the call out.

Some examples of emergency repairs include:
- Burst pipes.
- Severe leaks in roofs.
- Blocked drains and toilets (where there is only one toilet in your home).
- Complete loss of power or lighting.
- Other problems that seriously threaten your home or your health.
