What do I do if I have an urgent maintenance issue?
If it is during office hours, please call the office to notify us of the issue, it is also preferable that it is logged on line. This allows us to liaise with the correct tradesperson and landlord to rectify the issue as quickly as possible.
If it is out of office hours, you will be provided with a list of emergency contacts when you move in that you can call to arrange the repair however it is very important that you still notify our office if you have called them for their services.
Please refer to the paperwork you receive when you move in to the property which lists what is deemed as an emergency.
If you live in a property that is managed by House Manager please always try to contact them prior to contacting a tradesperson directly.
