Repairs responsibilites

We take care of the majority of repairs within your home and in communal areas, but there are a few things that you are responsible for looking after.

Access to your home to carry out repairs

To carry out work in your home, our contractors may need to gain access to your property.

All gas servicing and repairs for our tenants are carried out by specialist contractors.

Lift repairs

The majority of lifts have a voice communication device fitted. If the lift breaks down, press the alarm button and it will automatically connect you to our 24 hour call centre.

Right to Repair
