Covid-19: Current impact on Magenta Living’s Repairs Service  

Magenta Living continues to prioritise emergency and essential repair services however customers may be asked to wait longer for routine repairs.  This is due to us currently experiencing resource shortages because of higher than normal absence levels across our Building Services Team and our external contractor teams, as a result of requirements to self-isolate. In order to manage this, we are moving resources from other teams into day-to-day repair services and we have appointed additional sub-contractor resource to help with demand. We ask that you are patient with us and help us manage our repairs service by not asking our staff to over prioritise your repair request by establishing if your repair is an emergency, urgent or a routine priority.
