What type of repair do I have?
Emergency repairs
Emergency repairs are where health and safety or the security of your home could be at risk if not dealt with quickly. We aim to attend and make things safe within four hours.
Routine repairs
These are repairs which do not cause serious inconvenience or risk to you or your home. We aim to complete routine repairs within 20 calendar days.
Major works repairs
Major works repairs are defined as large time-intensive pieces of work, that are likely to take time to complete.
Major works repairs fall outside the timeframe of a routine repair. They are usually complex repairs that require either a specialist contractor and/or a technical lead to diagnose and then manage the works till they're complete.
Planned maintenance programme
Our planned maintenance programme is work that is carried out on a regular basis. It includes major replacements such as kitchens, bathrooms, windows etc.
You can learn more about our planned maintenance programme here.
You can also find out when major works are expected to your home through the MyHomeOnline customer site.
