Repairs

Update on our repairs service from 29 September 2021

Habinteg is working closely with our contractors who have been impacted by the current high demand on fuel. Our repairs service is currently operating as normal, but a small number of customers may experience some delays to non-essential repairs. Our contractors will contact any customers who may be impacted directly and we will keep you updated on any developments

Here is what Habinteg tenants can expect:

Emergency repairs

Emergency repairs are our highest priority and we expect to be able to attend to these within the usual 24 hour turnaround time.

Please report emergency repairs by phone to Habinteg Direct so that we can deal with them as promptly as possible. Call 0300 365 3100 (Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm) or use our out of hours service on 0345 601 3389 at all other times.

Urgent repairs

We will endeavour to complete urgent repairs within 5 working days however due to reduced contractor resource some may not be completed within this timeframe. The contractor will make an appointment with you for your repair and keep you informed of any changes.

Routine repairs

We will endeavour to complete routine repairs within 20 working days however due to reduced contractor resource there will be occasions when they are not able to complete the work within this timeframe. The contractor will make an appointment with you for your repair and keep you informed of any changes.

Routine safety checks

All health and safety and compliance work, such as electrical testing and gas servicing, will continue as normal during the lockdown period.

How to report a repair

You can report your routine repair via your online Habinteg account. If you haven’t already got an online account, you can set it up by visiting my.habinteg.org.uk.This will help us keep the telephone service available for emergencies, and for customers who can’t report online.

If you do need to phone us, you may find it takes longer than usual to get through to our Customer Services Team at the moment. This is because the team are working at home during lockdown and we’re also receiving more calls.
