Report a repair
All council tenants can report repairs using the buttons below. Tell us as much as possible about the repair you are reporting, as this will help us identify the problem and get the work done as quickly as possible.
Burst pipes and broken boilers
Our Burst pipes and broken boilers page will give you information on what to do if you have a burst pipe or your boiler is not working.
Covid-19
Before we can arrange an inspector or tradesman to visit the property, you must make sure that:
- you or anyone else in the house have NOT had symptoms of Covid-19 and have NOT been in contact with anyone displaying symptoms of Covid-19 in the last 14 days
- you or anyone else in the house stay in a different room to the inspector/tradesperson while they are in the house
If you or anyone else in the house have had symptoms of Covid-19 or have been in contact with anyone with symptoms in the last 14 days we can't visit the house unless it is an emergency repair.
