How our repairs work
Our colleagues and contractors will always show ID and will be polite and courteous. If you’re not sure who they are, you can contact our contact centre for help. You’ll need to move any furniture and lift and relay any carpet or other flooring you’ve fitted yourself if needed.
The repair person will leave the area as close to how they found it as possible. But please be aware we can’t guarantee replacement parts like tiles, will exactly match existing ones, especially if some time has passed.
Repair timeframes
We classify repairs as either emergency or routine. With emergency issues, we aim to repair or make them safe within four hours. We aim to repair routine issues, such as minor leaks and blockages or replacing broken items, within 30 days.
Repair appointments and appointment slots
When you contact us, we’ll make an appointment for one of our surveyors or repair colleagues to visit you and assess what needs doing (unless the repair is to a communal area). Sometimes we ask the contractor to contact you directly.
A contractor will come to your property. If they can’t get in, they’ll leave a card asking you to contact them to rebook.
If the repair person doesn’t show up at the arranged time, please contact them directly for more information and to rebook the repair if necessary.
Appointment slots are:
- AM appointments - between 8am and 1pm
- PM appointments - between 1pm and 5pm
- First appointments - 8am (first job of the day)
- Evening appointments - between 5pm and 8pm
- Saturday appointments - between 8am and 1pm
- School-run appointments - between 10am and 2pm on weekdays
