Book
a repair
As part of your tenancy with us, there are repair jobs that we’re responsible for. These are usually any big problems where you’ll need a trade professional to carry out the work.
Our aim is to fix your repair as quickly as possible. We aim to complete repairs within four weeks, and emergency repairs within 24 hours. Emergency or urgent repairs include a loss of power or heating, flooding or a significant amount of water entering your home, or any suspected gas leak.
In the case of an emergency repair, we will always make sure that you are safe and, in the case of a loss of heating, our contractors have portable heaters which are yours until we fix the problem.

Home inspection
Sometimes we will visit your home and carry out an inspection to find out more information about the repair before we can get started. This helps us get to the root of any problems, and ensures we have the right professional with the right materials to get the job done.

Gas Contractor
Our gas servicing and repairs are completed by Ashley & McDonough. All correspondence about gas servicing will come directly from them, and we encourage you to ask to see identification from contractors working with us.
Sharing your feedback
After your repair has been completed, we’ll be in touch to ask about your experience. This information helps us to continually make improvements. Your recent feedback has told us that you would like us to:
- Make repairs booking easier, and reduce waiting times
- Provide better updates on the progress of your repair.
We are currently developing a range of digital solutions, both internally and externally, to improve our repairs and maintenance service offer – and we’re focusing on making repairs easier to book and on keeping you updated on what’s happening with your request. We will share more information when new services become available.
