Monitoring our repairs
We regularly assess the quality of our repairs work to make sure it’s been carried out correctly and our residents are happy with the quality of work. We carry out spot checks on completed work and each month we survey a selection of residents who’ve had repairs done to their home.
Our standards let you know what you can expect from us and what we expect of you.
