Reactive repairs

Repairs for the day something fails

An emergency gets someone the same day. Anything your residents, customers or staff can see gets fixed within 48 hours. Everything else is booked in at a time that suits the building.

The work

What counts as what

We agree the priorities with you before there is a problem, so nobody is arguing about it at half past four on a Friday.

  • Emergency: water coming in, a building that cannot be secured, anything putting someone at risk
  • Visible: broken doors, damaged walls, anything people can see and complain about
  • Routine: small repairs that can wait for a sensible slot

For an emergency, ring 07749 474861 and do not use the form.

First visit

Fixed while we are there

If a job is small, we fix it on the first visit and invoice the hours and materials. You do not pay for someone to look at it and then wait for a second visit to do it. Anything bigger, we make safe, quote and let you decide.

Kitchen and floor repairs

“Punctual, pleasant, reliable. Nothing too much bother. Workmanship very good. Always tidied up after themselves, any minor problems sorted quickly.”

Out of hours

Agreed with you up front

Some buildings can only be worked on when they are quiet, and some problems will not wait for morning. Tell us how your building runs and we will agree what happens outside normal hours before you need it.

Impress understand the importance of providing a reliable, responsive and considerate service, often out of normal working hours.

The record

What happened, in writing

Each callout ends with the date, what was wrong, what was done and photographs. When somebody asks what happened to the door on the second floor, you can show them.

One contractor

One visit instead of three firms

Water through a ceiling can be a plumbing job, a plastering job and a decorating job. We cover all of those, so it is one visit to start with and one invoice at the end.

Coverage

Where we work

We take on reactive and emergency repairs across County Durham, Teesside and Tyne and Wear, working from our base in Newton Aycliffe. See the towns we cover, or find out how we work.

Common questions

What people ask first

How fast is same day?

An emergency gets someone the same day. Ring us rather than sending the form, so we can tell you when.

Do you need a contract first?

No. You can ring us for one job and decide from there.

What can you not do on a callout?

Gas work, electrical certification and asbestos removal. We will tell you straight away and say who we would ring.
