  2. Isolate safely if you can

    If safe at the Richmond 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 Richmond.

  4. Make-safe attendance when capacity allows

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

  5. Photograph after isolation (if safe)

    Capture the failed fitting and path for permanent-repair triage in Richmond. Do not enter unsafe spaces for photos.

  6. Plan permanent repair under written scope

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