If you rent your home
Before you report a repair, you should check who's responsible for fixing it.
If it's us, let us know and we'll sort it.
Contact us to report a repairIf you own your home
If you live in a shared ownership apartment you are usually responsible for all repairs to the inside of your property.
You can still contact us about communal areas, or take a look at our help and advice section.
If it's an emergency
If there's a risk to safety, security or health, we'll treat it as an emergency. We'll make it a priority, and get to it as soon as possible.
Our emergency phone line is open 24/7 365 days a year.

How we deal with repairs
All repairs are important, but we must deal with them in order of priority. We might even have to rearrange an appointment if there's an emergency somewhere else.
Emergency repairs
We make emergencies a priority, and get to them as soon as possible.
It's an emergency if:
-
there's a risk to someone's safety, security or health
-
there's a risk of severe damage to property
When you contact us, we'll tell you how fast we can get to you, and will attend within 24 hours.
Appointable repairs
We'll book an appointment with you to complete all other repairs. We'll agree a time that's convenient for you where possible.
Sometimes, we will send an engineer or surveyor first. This means we'll have everything we need when we come to complete your repair.
We may also ask to look around your home to see if there are any other repairs we need to do while the engineer is with you.
Criminal damage
If part of your property gets damaged by someone you don't know, we may do the repair.
We need a crime reference number to do this. You must contact the police before we can book an repairs appointment to make.
If the emergency services need to force access to your home because of a medical reason, we will do the repairs.
If the police have to force access for another reason, you will be responsible for the repair.
If items in your home get damaged make a claim on your contents insurance. Find out more about low rate contents insurance.
Damage caused by you, or someone in your home
If you cause damage to your home it is your responsibility to put this right, even if it was an accident.
You can fix things yourself if you feel capable of doing so or hire a professional. You are responsible for all costs, and we'll pop out to check they're safe.
If we have to repair the damage, we will then have to charge you for the work carried out.
DIY repairs
You may be able to fix some common issues yourself without waiting for an appointment. See our 'how to guides' for more information.
