We understand that keeping your home in good condition is essential for your comfort and wellbeing. That’s why we’re here to help you report any repairs you might need. Follow our simple process to get started.
How to report a repair
If you have anything that needs repairing in your flat, room or in a communal area, please speak to a member of the onsite team at your service to report the issue.
If a member of staff is not immediately available, follow the information below to report a repair with our friendly Customer Service team, and remember to notify a member of staff when they are next on duty.
There are two different ways to report a repair through our Customer Service team, depending on whether it is an emergency or not.
Is your repair an emergency?
Before you report a repair, you’ll need to determine if it’s an emergency or non-emergency repair. Emergency repairs are situations that pose an immediate risk to your health, safety or property. Examples include:
-
Gas leaks or suspect carbon monoxide leaks
-
Electrical faults causing a fire hazard
-
Major plumbing issues, such as severe leaks or flooding
-
Broken or insecure doors or windows, posing a security risk
If you’re unsure whether your repair is an emergency or not, please speak to a member of staff at your service, or contact us for more guidance.
Report your repair
Emergency repairs
If your repair is an emergency, please call our friendly Customer Services team on 0800 916 1527*. Our team is available to assist you and ensure your safety and comfort.
We also have a text facility for those with hearing impairments: 07800 006781 or we can connect you to a British Sign Language interpreter.

Non-emergency repairs
For non-emergency repairs, simply fill out our easy-to-use online contact form. Provide as much detail as possible about the issue, including photos if you have them. This helps us better understand the problem and helps us to assign the appropriate team to your repair.
