NHS and social care workers who need emergency home repairs will be able to get them for FREE - a utility company has announced.

HomeServe, the home repairs and improvements business, has launched the special offer to thank those at the frontline of the Covid-19 response.

Free emergency repairs including plumbing, drainage and heating will be provided by HomeServe’s network of trusted and qualified engineers, typically the same day.

What have HomeServe said?

Richard Harpin, founder and CEO of HomeServe, said: “All of our NHS and Social Care workers have shown enormous bravery and dedication in their response to the coronavirus crisis.

“During these trying times, a home emergency could become an additional source of disruption and anxiety when it’s needed the least.”

By taking away the stress and disruption caused by an unexpected home emergency, HomeServe is doing what it can to help NHS and Social Care workers focus on the crucial work they are doing to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

It is hoped the £1 million fund will cover the cost of up to 10,000 emergency repairs across the UK.

Richard Harpin added: “Everyone at HomeServe wants to do their bit to ensure that NHS and Social Care workers have working plumbing and hot water at home at the end of an exhausting shift, whether they are HomeServe customers or not.

“We hope that by offering them free emergency repairs, we can show how grateful we are at this time of intense difficulty. While you look after us, we’ll look after your homes.”
