When you can send a request

The request form is open 24/7, so you can send a request at any time. That describes the form only, not how soon anyone will reply. Because each engineer sets their own hours, ask when they can visit. For an urgent job, say so in the job details box.

Drainage emergency?

If flooding appears to contain sewage, call Scottish Water on 0800 0778 778. Its website shows that line as open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For a blocked private drain, send a request here and mark it urgent in the job details. Also call your insurer after any sewer flooding, because Scottish Water says your insurer is best placed to help.

What to include in your request

Clear details help the engineer understand the job. Because of that, the first conversation can be shorter. Try to include these points:

✓ The type of problem: a blocked drain, slow drainage, flooding, a bad smell or sewage backing up
✓ Which fixtures are affected, such as a toilet, sink, bath, shower, outside drain or manhole
✓ Your property type: house, flat, bungalow or business premises
✓ Whether the problem is inside the property, outside, or both
✓ How long it has been happening and whether it is getting worse
✓ Your postcode, so the engineer knows where the job is

Will I pay a call-out fee or for a quote?

That depends on the engineer, so ask before they visit. Ask whether there is a call-out charge and what it covers. Then ask for a written quote before work starts, so you can compare it with others.
