Repairs are an important part of looking after your home. Sometimes repairs are necessary because of general wear and tear, or because things go wrong and need a little extra attention.
You can request a non-emergency repair by completing our online form below. Please DO NOT use this form to report emergency repairs.
If you have an emergency repair please call us on 0800 048 8955 (includes out-of-hours emergency repairs).
An emergency repair is a problem that represents an immediate risk to safety, security or health, such as:
- No heating or hot water
- Major damage to the structure of your home
- An uncontrollable water leak
- A gas leak – If you smell gas or fumes, you must immediately call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 and ensure you are safe before reporting it to us on 0800 048 8955
- A dangerous electrical fault
- An unsecure front door or window causing a security issue
All repair requests are categorised in our responsive repair and heating/hot water repair timescales listed below.
An update on our repairs service
We are sorry if you have waited longer than usual for us to carry out a repair.
We are experiencing high demand for repairs as well as ensuring that we respond promptly to reports of damp and mould. This means it is taking longer than we would like, to complete some work.
We understand the frustration and disappointment that delays can cause and we are working hard to resolve these issues. We have put in place a new Priority Repairs Team and have temporarily changed some of our repairs timescales, so that you know when you can expect your repair to be completed.
Emergency repairs are not affected.
If you report damp and mould we will contact you by phone within two working days to book an appointment to visit your home. This visit should take place no later than seven working days after your report.
Responsive repair timescales
