What to do in an emergency

An emergency is something that could not have been foreseen, and which could cause serious damage to the property. For example:

  • Severe leaks

  • Loss of electrical power or light
  • Blockage of your only toilet
  • Loss of heating or hot water
  • Broken windows or doors following a break-in

Please call your local office should you have an emergency during our working hours: Monday to Friday 9am – 6pm, Saturday 9am - 2pm.

If you have an emergency out of office hours, please call one of the Contractors below stating that you are a Davis Tate tenant. If your call is not immediately answered, please leave a message with your details and they will call you back. We suggest you save these numbers to your mobile.
