We aim to respond to maintenance requests as soon as possible. We prioritise maintenance work that poses a health and safety risk to residents or where there is a risk of damage to the property.

• Urgent within 24 Hours (EMERGENCY) – When there is a threat to the immediate safety or health of people or there is serious damage to property.
• Priority within 48 hours – When there is a failure or breakdown of any essential services on the premises for cooking, heating or laundering.
• Normal 20 days – All other repairs that are of no immediate threat to the security or safety of the resident.
