How Quickly Can We Attend?

We always aim to attend emergency call-outs as soon as practically possible. However, please be aware:

  • Emergency responses may take up to 48 hours, depending on the nature and severity of the situation.
  • In some cases, we may need to complete another ongoing job or rearrange existing appointments to attend.

Your safety is our top priority—and we work hard to be there when it counts.
