Why not attach a picture of your repair to your email? It could help us diagnose the fault more easily, which means we may be able to order your repair straightaway without the need to inspect.

Emergency repairs

In an emergency, such as a fire, threat to life or damage to your home, phone 999 straight away. If you have a repair emergency in the evening or at the weekend please call our Repairs Helpline where we can offer you help and advice.

Please remember that our Out of Hours repairs service is a ‘make safe’ service only where there is genuine danger to residents or property. Follow up repairs to tenant properties are usually completed the next day. Check your Repairs guide for more details.

Leaseholders are responsible for carrying out their own follow-up repairs and should contact their contractor to do this. Special arrangements are also,in place to help, vulnerable residents outside of working hours. If in doubt, please call our Repairs Helpline.
