Our latest service update

Although government restrictions have now been lifted and it is no longer mandatory to wear face coverings or socially distance, we are encouraging our staff to take the following steps if they need to come into your home:

• wash hands regularly or use hand sanitiser;
• wear a face covering, especially where space is limited or in crowded places; 
• social distance where possible.

If you would like a member of staff to wear a face covering, please inform them of this. We’d also encourage you to wear a covering if asked by a staff member.

If you are worried that you may have Coronavirus or the symptoms, please let us know so we can reschedule your appointment: Contact us

We have a legal duty to carry out gas services. If you have a service booked, you must let us into your home so we can carry out this vital safety check. For more information, see: Gas and oil heating

If you are having problems paying your rent, we have a team of advisors who can offer telephone / email support to help with financial and benefits advice.

Alternatively, you can contact Citizens Advice West Oxfordshire. All Cottsway customers can contact this branch, regardless of where they live, for free, independent and confidential advice.
