An event which puts you or the property in danger of harm or seriously hinders your ability to inhabit the property. That which under no circumstances could wait until More Management reopened. Please adopt a common sense approach in determining what can be classed as an emergency.
Examples of emergency situations: Loss of heating, water and gas leaks, loss of power.
Examples of non-emergencies: Appliance failure, dripping taps, broken furniture.
If your property has a total loss of electricity supply firstly check all fuses/circuit breakers to make sure they are operational and check with your neighbors to see if they have the same problem. Please ensure that for Pre-Payment meters, you have enough credit on your account. This will often be shown on the meter itself.
Electricity – You can phone 105 service you can also contact the network directly. Central & Southern Scotland – 0330 1010 222 (from mobiles).
If your electrical problem is specific to your home and is deemed an emergency, please call our Emergency Contactor listed below:

If you experience loss of water, it could mean that work is being done on-street to the supply. Alternatively, a neighbour might have work being done in their home and may have forgotten to advise you that as a result the supply to your building has been switched off. Please check with your neighbours as a first action.
Please note a dripping tap does not qualify as an emergency. Our plumbers will not to attend unless your problem constitutes an emergency.
