Repairs and servicing

We have a duty as a landlord to keep your home in good order. As a tenant, you share the responsibility for looking after your home with us.

You can use the links to the right to report a repair online, find out what is your responsibility to repair, and how we prioritise your request.

Carrying out repairs

Our employees will carry out most day-to-day repairs. They will carry identity cards and will normally arrive in one of our vans. In some areas we run a local neighbourhood repairs scheme. These teams deal with all repairs in a particular neighbourhood. You may report repairs directly to these staff.

Sometimes we employ external contractors for specialist work or to help us during busy periods. These contractors will also carry identity cards. If you have any questions about the identity of the caller, please contact us immediately on 01225 366111.

Providing access for repair work

You must let our staff into your home to carry out repairs and safety servicing. Where possible, we will arrange a morning or afternoon appointment with you, or advise the tradesperson to contact you to arrange a convenient time.
