Report your repair

Repairs and Maintenance

We have a responsibility and are committed to providing homes that are in a good condition

If you need to report a repair* it will help us if you're clear about the following:

• What the problem is
• Where it is
• Whether any other work has been done recently
• Location information such as what floor you are on
• Your availability for an appointment

We will then:

• Confirm your repair order
• Tell you if there is a charge for the job request
• Offer appointments for non-emergency repairs
• Contact you afterwards to check that you're happy with the work
