To help you report your repair more accurately, the Council has developed the repairs handbook below.
All tenants should already have a copy of this. Please refer to your handbook where possible when reporting a repair so
that our tradesmen can bring the right equipment to complete the job in one visit to your home.
Further information
Where tenants are reporting damage caused by others it is a requirement that the tenant reports this to the Police first
and that the Police crime incident log number is communicated to the duty officer before the repairs are put in hand.
The Council will respond to repair requests where damage has been caused accidentally by tenants or anyone living with
the tenant or any visitors to the property, e.g. broken window glass, but the tenant should be advised that this work will
be charged to them.
The following is a list of repairs that are the tenant's responsibility to complete:
- All repairs to any fixtures and fittings installed by the tenant
- All internal decorating
- All electric lamps and fluorescent tubes (unless in Sheltered Scheme)
