Why did we switch it off?
We’re pleased to say that we have recently recruited new staff to our Contact Centre Team.
Our new recruits show huge promise, but we had to give them time to learn the ropes. While we got them up to speed, we switched off live chat so that we could put everyone else on the phones.

"I chatted to Krystle who was very helpful and friendly. I couldn't fault her. I was feeling very distressed and I feel a lot better now."

The phone is not for everyone
In particular, customers with anxiety and hearing loss tell us that they really love our live chat. A phone call doesn’t suit everyone.
- That’s why we provide a wide range of ways to get in touch.
- Remember if you want to avoid any wait time, you can book and track your repairs on My Account.
Where and when to chat
Any weekday between 10am and 4pm on any page of our website.
