    If safe at the Herne Hill property, shut the stopcock, keep clear of electrics near water, and move people from wet floors.

  3. Share access and risk details

    Who opens the door, floor level for flats, freeholder emergency contacts, and whether water is entering common parts or rooms below in Herne Hill.

  4. Make-safe attendance when capacity allows

    Accepted emergency work focuses on isolation and temporary containment for the Herne Hill unit under written terms when attendance is confirmed.

  5. Photograph after isolation (if safe)

  6. Plan permanent repair under written scope

    Follow-up plumbing for Herne Hill is scoped separately after make-safe — in-house delivery, not a marketplace auction.
