Christmas Surprises - Home repairs, blocked toilets and carpet disasters!
With Christmas just around the corner it’s time to start thinking seriously about presents, especially the unexpected ones!
Last year Service Central found that the most common unexpected surprise wasn’t the latest handheld tablet but urgent home repairs with rebuilding pergolas taking the cracker! And don’t forget about blocked toilets and blown fuses too – a staggering 30% of callers needed rescuing from their holiday hell.
For many Australians, Christmas is a time of relaxation, taking a break from the stress of life and enjoying quality family time. But it can also be a time of mini-disasters, with Dad shorting the house with one-too-many Christmas lights, Mum putting too many roasts in the oven and cooking only the wiring and the Christmas party ending with a freshly decorated carpet.
According to research from Service Central urgent cleaning services like carpet shampooing was the second most requested service over last year’s Christmas weekend putting a dampener on Christmas spirits.
To combat the nightmare before, during or even after Christmas, consumers are turning to Service Central to find solutions for their mini-dramas, even on Christmas Day!
Service Central’s visionary and creator, Danial Ahchow, explains the increasing popularity of their around-the-clock service match-making system:
“The hardest part about the festive season is that everyone else is on holidays too! Holidays can often become nightmares when ordinary home hiccups turn into huge dramas because no one is there to answer your call.” Danial says.
“Service Central is always there, night and day, all over the Christmas period to help solve all your service needs.”
For those who want a heads up for what to except over this season’s holiday, last year Service Central dealt with everything from urgent cleaning, people locked outside, leaky roofs, chandelier installation, walls that needed to be repainted, pergola repairs, and even helped one poor person who needed a courier for a late present!
For a stress free holiday season, Service Central recommends that every home keeps 1800 SERVICE (1800 7378 423) handy in case of any unwanted Christmas surprises!
