Special circumstances

We understand that if you are frail, elderly or disabled or are a supported housing service user things that go wrong in your home can be more than just an inconvenience.

We will always prioritise repairs for frail, elderly or disabled customers and supported housing service users, particularly for things like broken heating systems where your health may quickly be affected if the system is out of action.

If you live in a care home or in sheltered housing we will automatically give your repair request a higher priority.
