Live chat
The live chat service connects you to a customer service agent in real time using text-based messages.
The live chat service will help you to find the information you need on our website.
The live chat facility is available during our office opening hours. When our customer service agents are dealing with a high level of live chat enquiries, we will remove the service for a short period of time so that you are not left waiting for a response. As soon as the volume has dropped, the service will automatically appear again.
