Frequently asked questions
What types of emergencies do you handle?
A wide range of property emergencies — plumbing issues such as burst pipes and leaks, electrical faults, heating failures, lock-outs, glazing, drainage and more. If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first.
How quickly can someone attend?
It depends on the nature of the issue and your service level. Our call handlers are available 24/7 to triage and, where a visit is needed, dispatch a local contractor from our nationwide network as quickly as possible.
How do I report an issue?
Call our 24/7 hotline on 0247 5222 999, or log it through the Client Portal. Both are monitored around the clock.
How do I access the Client Portal?
Clients can sign in to the Client Portal at necos.app — also linked from our site header — at any time to report issues and follow progress. Contact support@necos.fm if you need an account.
Do you cover all areas of the UK?
Yes. We provide nationwide coverage through a trusted network of local contractors, wherever your property is located.
Are your contractors vetted and qualified?
Yes. Every contractor in our network is vetted and must meet strict requirements, including relevant certifications, insurance and a proven track record for quality and reliability.
What if an emergency happens outside business hours?
Our emergency service runs 24/7, including weekends and bank holidays. Call the hotline at any time.
What does the call-out fee include?
The call-out fee typically covers the contractor's visit and an initial assessment. Any further repairs or services are quoted separately.
Can I decline your contractor's work after their assessment?
You're under no obligation to proceed with repairs after an assessment. The initial call-out fee is non-refundable, as it covers the contractor's time and travel.
How can I track the status of my issue?
Once reported, you can follow progress through the Client Portal and will receive updates as it's resolved. When the job is complete, we send a report covering the work carried out, associated costs and any maintenance recommendations.
Do you offer any service guarantees?
We hold every repair to a high standard. If you're not satisfied with the quality of work, contact us straight away and we'll follow up.
What happens if the issue recurs after a repair?
Warranties apply to most repairs. If a problem persists, we'll send a contractor back to reassess and resolve it at no additional cost — subject to warranty conditions and excluding tenant damage or misuse.
