Emergency Repairs are true emergencies, the fault MUST carry the risk of immediate injury to people or major damage to property.
Emergency Repairs will be completed to all homes where required.
If there is a repairs emergency call us immediately on 0800 678 1894 to report the problem. You can contact us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
ALLOWING ACCESS: You will need to remain at your property until the operative arrives to make safe (within 4 hours or reporting).
Priority type repairs are not emergencies, but repairs which need to be carried out quickly to prevent further damage to the property and improve customer’s quality of life. These are repairs that do not cause immediate risk to the health and safety or security of the tenant or 3rd party and therefore not an emergency.
ALLOWING ACCESS: If you are given an appointment for a priority repair, you must arrange to be at home and allow access for the operative. You will be contacted by HMS with an appointment window.
If a maintenance or repair job is needed in your home but doesn’t pose a risk to the property or you and your family, it is classed as a routine repair, not an emergency or priority repair.
