Repair Response Time

How quickly we carry out a repair depends on all of the following:

  • What the fault is
  • The amount of inconvenience it is causing you and others in your home
  • Your general health and safety
  • The risk of further damage to the property being caused

Sometimes, we may change the priority of a repair depending on personal circumstance, for example, if there is a risk to your health or safety, or if you will be affected by not having the repair done sooner.

Responsive repairs by priority and response time:

Priority 1 Emergency - response time: Attend within 4 hours Comment: Emergencies where there is a substantial risk, immediate danger or significant property damage will be prioritised, e.g. bursts, flooding or risk of structural damage. Repairs that present a risk of injury to people or major damage to property will be made safe. Any additional work to complete the repair may take place at a further appointment /// Priority 2 Urgent - within 5 working days. Comment: Jobs that require urgent attention to prevent damage to property but not risk to person or property //// Priority 3 routine- 21 working days - standard response repairs //// Priority 4 - 60 working days - requires further planning
