You're in safe hands with Persona Aftercare

We don't expect there to be any issues in your home but sometimes there is the odd problem. That's why we have a dedicated team on hand and ready to help.

What are snags and defects?

A snag is something in your home that has been marked or damaged during construction. This could include scratched work surfaces, cracked tiles or minor decorative issues.

A defect or a snag can be a problem caused by a failure of workmanship in your new home, such as leaking roofs and plumbing, defective wiring or doors not closing or locking securely.

We aim to fix defects within 30 days free of charge. If it’s an emergency repair, we’ll get to it in 24 hours or less.

Unsure about defects?

When it comes to defects, trying to understand what our responsibility is and what yours is can be overwhelming.

What is classed as an emergency?

We understand that some fixes are much more urgent than others. That’s why we aim to respond to the following in under 24 hours:

  • No central heating or hot water during the winter months

  • Complete loss of power

  • Uncontainable leak - If you have an uncontainable leak, please try to turn off your stopcock (usually located under the kitchen sink) . This can help reduce both short and long term damage.

  • Risk to life or a cause of injury

  • An insecure home

  • Blocked toilet, where the toilet is the only one in your home

In an emergency, please contact us directly on 0808 196 1532 (Option 2).

If you can smell gas please contact your local Gas Board immediately, open the windows and vacate your home. .

If you have an out of hours emergency your call will be diverted to someone who can help.
