Report a common repair

You can report a common repair in a number of ways. Remember, the more information you can give us about the repair you’re reporting, the better.

Emergency repairs service for communal areas

If you need to report an emergency repair, please call 03451 400 100 option 1 for repairs. Due to the current Government advice, we may take longer to carry out certain repairs than normal.

Planned non-urgent repairs and consultations associated with that are on hold until Scottish Government guidelines on movement restrictions and essential work are removed.

Owners can report problems or issues relating to the following:

  • Communal stairwells including lighting, flooring, banisters, windows and walls
  • Close doors or door entry systems
  • Lifts
  • Loss of power to communal areas
  • Standard of close or window cleaning
  • Communal fencing
  • Communal landscape maintenance
  • Vandalism to common parts
