Hey can u do a private post please?
What are the rules around having no heating or hot water in a council rented house with a 3 year old?? It’s not been working for 2 weeks and they are only willing to send someone out during the day when I work and would lose a days pay? Any advice? X

If you have a 3 year old & no hot water or heating I don’t understand why you’re delaying having it fixed? Yes you’ll lose a days pay but maybe you could pick an extra shift up? Even if you can’t I’d rather my child was warm & able to have a hot bath & take a hit in the wallet 😊
erm loose a 9.5 hour day pay over a half hour call out? no don’t think so!!!!
yeah it needs fixed but that’s why council firms have a 24 hour line!!!!!
i’ve had a heater go out before and i phoned out of hours line and they sent someone at 9 at night, so no hot water and heater is classed as an emergency with a small child in the house too!
Council only work 9-5 usually so unfortunately you need to take the day off. It’s one of those things, whether council, private let or owned you would need to take the day off for a tradesperson anyway. Or get someone else to sit in for you
It used to be up to five years of age classed as emergency it’s gone down to 3 years and u should just take a day off heating is more important in this weather now your child’s free your have to wait till they are available to do it x
Could somebody not be there instead, it clearly needs sorting now more than ever! Should imagine They only come out after hours if it’s called after hours as an emergency
They can only leave u 24 hrs without heating and should offer electric heaters if can’t fix it and they can send someone out at night an emergency enigeer
Can you not Explain it to to Council that you can afford to lose a days pay ?? Or your other choice would be to get someone to wait in your house in the day they are coming out to fix it
Stop been awkward and lose a days pay to get it fixed!!!!!!
So you work 7 days a week? Two weeks with out heating or hot water?? Your poor child
Get a family member or friend there
people work monday to friday?
