Here’s a closer look at some of the main services we provide:
Home safety
- It’s as important as ever that we continue to carry out our essential home safety checks and work, so please keep any appointments and allow us access to your home. All our colleagues and contractors will take these safety measures when visiting.
- With so many people staying home, please be extra vigilant around home safety.
- We all have a role to play in keeping your household safe and reducing demand on our stretched emergency services. Remember to test your smoke alarm weekly and let us know if you have any concerns about home safety. We’ve published more advice here.

Repairs:
