Response times
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).
| Category | Example | Response time |

Emergency repairs |
Repairs that require immediate attention to ensure the safety of tenants and the security of the property. This includes total loss of water or electricity, total loss of heating (in cold weather), serious roof leaks, breaches of security to outside doors and windows | Within four hours |
| Urgent | Repairs that require attention to prevent further deterioration to the property or undue risk or inconvenience to the tenant, including plumbing leaks, central heating faults, blocked drains, minor electrical faults | Within three working days |
| Routine | Any other day-to-day repairs such as minor joinery or plumbing repairs | Within 10 working days |
