When you report a repair, we’ll assess how urgent it is and place it into the right category. This helps us keep you safe and make sure the most urgent repairs are dealt with first.

We’ll always aim to complete your repair as quickly as we can.

Our repairs response times

Emergency repairs are problems that put your health, safety or security at immediate risk. They can also be issues that affect the structure of your building.
We aim to complete emergency repairs within 24 hours of you reporting the issue.

Examples include:

  • a blocked or leaking main drain or soil pipe
  • loss of gas supply
  • total loss of cold water
  • dangerous structures, such as a collapsing wall or ceiling
  • insecure doors or windows

These are non‑emergency repairs that still need attention but don’t pose an immediate risk.
Examples include:

  • blocked gullies or sinks
  • plumbing leaks
  • partial loss of electricity or water
  • loose or damaged handrails
  • leaking or unsafe roofs

Planned repairs are non‑urgent jobs which are grouped together so we can carry them out efficiently.
Examples include:

  • fixing internal joinery such as cupboards, shelving, skirting and stairs
  • cleaning or repairing gutters and rainwater pipes
  • fencing repairs

If a repair needs technical advice, we’ll book an inspection first.

During busy periods

If we receive a high number of emergency repairs, you may experience delays.
We’ll keep you updated and give you the earliest available appointment.
