Villa's have both Solar Water Heater and also an immersion heater inside the hot water tank which is located on the roof. Often the immersion heater fails and needs replacing. This doesn't require replacing the whole tank, just the heater inside. Please refer to the business page for list of local maintenance contractors who can assist.

This is often caused by the exhaust vents on the roof not being high enough and smells being pulled back into the house. Check the roof to ensure they are high enough. Alternatively, the smell may be caused by drains and in this case we recommend calling a maintenance company to clean your drains.

There are several places where the gas supply can be disrupted, 1. In the kitchen where there is a gas leak detector which may need resetting. 2. There is also a switch beside the kitchen for turning the gas on & off. 3. Finally, outside the front door there is a gas meter which also has a reset button on it.

If you're experiencing internet issues, follow these steps:

1. Check if it's a specific service issue

   • If only one service (e.g., WhatsApp) is not working, visit Downdetector to check for outages.

2. Check your Wi-Fi signal

   • Ensure your device has a strong Wi-Fi signal.
   • If possible, connect a device (e.g., laptop) using a wired connection to see if the issue is Wi-Fi-related.

3. Restart your router

   • If the issue persists, turn your router off for 10-15 seconds and turn it back on. This resolves most connectivity problems.

4. For 5G internet users

   • If you're using a 5G connection, poor signal strength may be the issue. Try moving the router to a different location.

5. Check if others are experiencing issues

   • Ask in WhatsApp or Facebook groups if others in the community are facing similar problems.
   • If the issue is only affecting you, contact your internet provider for further assistance.

If you see water coming out the down pipes from your roof, this is often caused by a leak from the hot water tank on the roof or one of the pipes leading to & from it. As the villa roofs are connected, it means that the leak could be coming from a neighbour's tank or pipes. The easiest way to check is to check the roof. If your tank is leaking, you may want to turn the water supply off until it's fixed to save water & bills. If its not your leak and there no one in the neighbouring villa then please notify security.
