You can also email us on enquiries@whgrp.co.uk (we usually respond within five working days), or you can call us on 0300 555 6666 (Monday-Friday, 8am-6pm, Saturday 8am-1pm).

Emergency repairs can be reported 24 hours a day on the same phone number.

When reporting a repair, you need to tell us your name, address, contact phone number, as much information as possible about the repair and how our repairs team will be able to get into your home.

Before booking a repair, please double-check it isn’t your responsibility to fix here.

Your solicitor may take a percentage of this and will recover payment of some of your legal costs, but if you lose then you are likely to have to pay legal costs without receiving any compensation.
