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 follow the current COVID-19 safety guidelines 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.
Contacting us:
- First, please give MyCuro - our secure customer portal - a try.
- If you want to ask a question, check whether we already have the answer here.
- If you still need to contact us, our Contact Team remain open as usual from 8am-8pm Monday-Friday. There are many ways to get in touch, however The Maltings and One Stop Shops remain closed to customers.
- Please use digital channels like LiveChat and MyCuro if you can – this helps to free up our phone lines for customers who don’t have access to the internet.
- If you need to get in touch about money, rent or benefits, you can email customeraccountshelp@curo-group.co.uk directly.
Repairs:
- We are continuing to carry out routine as well as emergency repairs in residents’ homes.

If your repair is an emergency, please call us in the usual way on 01225 366000. - Ensuring the safety of you and of our colleagues is our top priority, and all home visits and repairs will be carried out using social distancing. When we call to make the appointment we’ll talk to you about the safety precautions we will take and what we will ask you to do. You can find more information here.
