Please remember, care should always be taken with electrical equipment and fittings. Problems, such as flickering lights and overheating sockets, should be reported without delay.

Please Tell Us • What is the exact nature of the problem (eg sockets and /or lights not working, lights flickering, broken switch etc)? • Have you, in the case of light failure, checked the bulb? • Does the problem affect one room, if so, which one? • Were you using a particular appliance at the time of the power failure and, if so, have you checked the plug fuse? • Have you checked the fuse box to see if anything has tripped? • If the contractor attends and the light isn’t working as the bulb needs changed this will be deemed a recoverable charge. The same will also apply if the fault occurred as a result of a faulty appliance owned by the tenant.
