Repairs update for August

Find out what we are doing to improve our repairs service and how long you may need to wait for certain types of repairs.

Our improved repairs service

We know getting your repairs done quickly is a key priority for customers. We’ve invested an additional £5m in our repairs service and made changes to improve things for you:

  • We’ve recruited an extra 20 colleagues, plus four dedicated glazing specialists to reduce waiting times for window and door repairs.
  • We’ve created a Repairs Booster Team who will do their best to complete all outstanding repairs in your home in the same visit, meaning less inconvenience for you.
  • We’ve made it easier to report your repairs online from your mobile.
  • We’re working through other improvements to the service based on your feedback and will continue to update you on what we are doing.

How are you improving the repairs service?

We have invested an extra £5m and 20 additional colleagues have been recruited to the service so we can carry out more repairs each day. Following customer feedback we have introduced a ‘Repairs Booster Team’ who complete multiple repairs during a single visit. We have also launched a new repairs satisfaction survey to gather your feedback.

We have now almost cleared the backlog of repairs that we had. Thank you for your patience while we focused on getting these done.
