Carrying out works during the pandemic

If you see us near your home, please be assured that the work which we are doing is important. If we do need to enter your home to carry out any work, we will need to ask you some additional questions to make sure that we keep everyone safe. If it is safe for us to enter your home and carry out any work, we will always follow the Government’s recommended guidelines to keep you and our engineers safe.
We will not be carrying out any work in properties where a member of the household is isolating or shielding from the virus, unless the work is essential to protect the safety of our customers.

Looking after those in greatest need

If you are an 'at risk' person who has received a letter from the NHS advising you to take additional measures to protect yourself from COVID-19, then we recommend that you getting in touch with us to be added to our Priority Services Register. Our Priority Services Register provides free additional services to customers in vulnerable circumstances should there be any loss of supply.
