Keeping you informed about your repairs

If your repair is a non emergency appointment you can track the progress of your repair using My Livin app and portal.

We will keep you informed about repairs to your home with clear and timely communication. As a minimum we will contact you when we confirm the appointment, the day before the appointment and on the day of the appointment when the operative is on route.

We will also contact you if we need to change or cancel an appointment.

We will tell you if the work is going to take longer than planned and we will inform you when we believe a repair is your responsibility and the reasons why.

Where a follow up visit is required to complete a repair we will provide you with the follow up appointment at the end of the visit. Where specialist materials are needed and an appointment cannot be provided, we will normally provide you with progress updates every seven working days until the appointment to complete the work is confirmed.

Where a repair cannot be completed as components need to be replaced or a technical inspection is required, we will normally provide progress updates to you every seven working days.

Why are requests for repairs prioritised?

We aim to carry out all our repairs within a reasonable timescale, but also need to retain some capacity to attend to your more urgent situations much quicker. We do this by separating our repairs into four categories; emergency, urgent, routine and scheduled. This enables us to achieve the correct balance and ensures that we help customers suffering the most disruption or those at risk sooner.

Emergency repairs

Work that needs to be attended to within 4 hours and rectified. These are repairs that need to be carried out to avoid serious danger to health and safety, or where a failure to carry out the repair could cause extensive damage to the buildings and property.

Urgent repairs

Work that needs to be attended to and rectified within 5 working days. These repairs that can cause disruption or significant inconvenience, and repairs which may worsen or affect your health if left for longer periods of time.

Routine repairs

Work that needs to be attended to and rectified within 10 working days. These are day to day repairs causing some levels of disruption or inconvenience to you, and which are unlikely to significantly worsen.

Scheduled repairs

Work that needs to be attended to and rectified within 25 working days, involving repairs that cause minimal disruption or inconvenience to you or which may be grouped together.
