- Call 03451 400 100 option 1 for reactive and emergency repairs.
- Complete our online form.
Repairs service update – 22 March 2022
We would like to thank customers for their patience with regards to delayed repairs due to covid restrictions and supply shortages, and apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.
We are back to delivering a full repairs service, however, appointments for routine repairs may be outwith the 10 day target timescales, there are also a number of repairs appointments being cancelled and re-scheduled at short notice.
This is due to Link Property operatives and sub-contractors being advised to self-isolate. There is also a general shortage of materials like timber, plasterboard and general building supplies.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
To prioritise all the repairs we have to carry out, response times are split into three categories - emergency, urgent and routine repairs.
The type of repair will determine how long we will take to respond and complete the repair (where possible).
Communal repairs requiring investigation, scaffolding, specialist quotes and/ or consultation will not be completed within the listed timescales. Please let us know when reporting a communal repair of any emergency or urgent circumstances, as otherwise it can take several weeks to obtain quotes and / or consult on communal repairs.
Independent advice about factoring issues and communal repairs is available from:
- Under One Roof
- Citizens Advice Scotland on 03454 04 05 06.
- Your solicitor
