Further to the Prime Minister and First Minister’s instructions to the nation on 23 March 2020 Abertay will provide an Emergency Repairs Only Service to our customers until further notice. The Right to Repair has been suspended during this time. The Abertay Office is currently closed to the public. The Abertay office phones have been diverted to our Out Of Hours Emergency Service. We will respect customers’ rights in relation to self-isolating etc. but tradesmen and operators will also have to ask invasive, pertinent questions to ensure that everyone is kept safe during these unprecedented times.
