Type of repair
- Emergency repairs: If there is a serious risk of immediate injury or major damage to your home.
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. - Urgent repairs: If the problem needs to be dealt with quickly, but it isn’t an emergency.
This includes repairs such as faulty electrics, leaking pipes, blocked sewers or drains, leaking doors or windows or damaged roof tiles - Routine repairs: If the problem is not an emergency or urgent, it will need a routine repair.
Routine repairs include fixing things such as damaged plasterwork, broken floors or floor tiles, damaged kitchen fittings and work surfaces, faulty internal doors or frames or broken doors or windows.
Resolving disrepairs
When you report a repair to us, if it is our responsibility, we will assess the urgency of the situation and allocate a priority to your repair.
If your repair is an emergency, please call us as soon as possible and we will do all we can to help.
We also have a text facility for those with hearing impairments: 07800 006781 or we can connect you 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 a target date that the repair will be completed by 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.
