Repairs


Description

We give all reported repairs a priority rating that sets out when the work should be completed. Some repairs are covered by the right to repair regulations. These ensure that certain small, urgent repairs - known as 'qualifying repairs' - are completed within a specified time.

As stated in your tenancy agreement, you are responsible for reporting any repairs that are necessary, either in your home or in any shared area that we are responsible for. You can report a repair to us in the following ways:

  • on-line;
  • by e-mailing as below;
  • by letter or by returning one of the prepaid repairs cards that we send out in April each year;
  • by telephoning the Housing Maintenance Section on the numbers below;
  • by calling into Housing Reception at the Town Hall or any of our area offices; or
  • by faxing 01255 686406
    all working hours only.

However you notify us, please tell us your name and address; full details about the repair; and when someone will be at home to let the contractor or our Maintenance Surveyor in. If you prefer, when you report a repair, you can tell us whether you would like the contractor to arrange an appointment with you. We will then tell our contractor and they will contact you direct to arrange a specific time.

To report any emergency repairs outside of working hours, please telephone (01255) 222022.
