    Reliable Emergency Repairs for UK Tenants

    When you're renting and an emergency strikes — a flooded bathroom, electrical fault, or broken boiler — it can be confusing knowing who to call and who pays. UK Reactive makes it simple. We provide fast emergency repairs for tenants in flats, houses, HMOs, and shared accommodation across the UK.

    We understand that as a tenant, you may need to coordinate with your landlord or letting agent before repairs can proceed. Our team handles this for you — we can contact your landlord or agent directly, provide quotes for approval, and arrange payment through them so you don't have to worry about upfront costs.

    All our engineers carry valid ID, are DBS-checked for your safety, and will treat your rented home with the care and respect it deserves. We document all work carried out with photographs and detailed reports, which can be shared with your landlord, agent, or deposit protection scheme as needed.

    FAQs — Tenants

    Do I need my landlord's permission before you attend?
    For genuine emergencies posing a safety risk (gas leak, flooding, electrical danger), we recommend calling us immediately. For non-urgent repairs, we advise contacting your landlord or agent first. We can liaise with them directly to arrange approval and payment.
    Who pays for the repair — me or my landlord?
    In most cases, your landlord is responsible for emergency repairs under their legal obligations. We can invoice your landlord or letting agent directly. We'll coordinate with them so you don't have to worry about payment.
    Will you provide documentation for my landlord?
    Yes, we provide detailed reports with photographs, itemised invoices, and completion certificates. These can be shared with your landlord, letting agent, or deposit protection scheme.
    Can you attend HMOs and shared houses?
    Absolutely. Our engineers are experienced with HMOs and shared accommodation. We understand the specific regulations around HMO safety standards and communal facilities.
