We prioritise repairs by separating them into three categories; emergency, urgent and routine.

We aim to complete repairs in the following timescales;

Emergency repairs – to remove life threatening situations in two hours

Urgent repairs – within three working days

Routine repairs – within ten working days

Will I be charged for the repair?

You will only be charged for a repair if the following circumstances apply;

  • If you tell us the repair is an emergency (as defined above) and it is not.
  • If you do not allow access for the tradesmen to carry out the repair.
  • If the repairs are a result of damage caused by you, your family or visitors to your home.
