How quickly will my repairs be completed?

There are three categories of repairs Emergency, Urgent or Routine.

Emergency Repairs

An emergency repair is where there is a severe risk to people or property, caused by a significant hazard. These should be reported to the Homelessness Service as an emergency and contractors aim to be with you within 2 hours.

Urgent Repairs

An urgent repair would cause further damage to the property if unattended, or would cause undue risk or inconvenience to the residents of the property. These should be reported to the Homelessness Service during working hours and we aim to be with you within 1 working day.

Routine Repairs

Routine repairs are non-urgent repairs, which may cause inconvenience, immediate repair would not present further risk to people or property. Timescales for repairs of this type are usually within 5 working days.
