Customers with boiler or central heating cover

Here’s a guide to our service levels, depending on the type of job you need help with. We’ll always do our best to get to you as soon as we can, but at certain times – especially during bad weather – high demand can affect the response rates shown below.

No heating and/or hot water?​

Our service levels are set out below and we’ve been working hard to improve how we meet these over the past year. We now aim to offer same-day service if you have no heating and/or hot water and contact us before 11am – or the next day if you contact us after 11am. So far this year, 80% of customers who told us before 11am received same-day service.
