If there is something broken or not working as expected in your home, and we are responsible for repairing it, please contact us to book a repair appointment.
What type of repair do you have?
-
Emergency repairs – something which needs to be made safe urgently. This includes repairs such as no water, total power failure, health and safety issues, burst internal pipes, gas leaks or securing the lock on a main door. More information can be found on our repairs timescales page.
-
Routine repairs - all other repairs.
How do you report an emergency repair?
We also have a text facility for those with hearing impairments: 07800 006781 or connect to a British Sign Language interpreter.
Our first priority will be to make your emergency safe. We will then discuss the next steps with you on how to rectify the issue.
You will be notified of the target date the repair will be completed, and whether a contractor or inspection is needed. We will ensure your home is safe as quickly as possible. We will also arrange for any follow-up work required.
How do you report routine repairs?
-
First of all, check if the repair is our responsibility - many minor repairs may be your responsibility. Check here if you rent your home from Sanctuary and here if you own your own home.

The best and easiest way to report non-emergency repair issues to us is online. Use our online report a repair form to tell us what the issue is, and let us know what days are convenient for us book an appointment.
