How do we deliver it?

Access is the most common reason disrepair works stall. We offer flexible appointments, confirm in writing and log every attempt, so a delay caused by refused access is clear from the record.

Awaab's Law (the Hazards in Social Housing (Prescribed Requirements) (England) Regulations 2025) has applied to social landlords since 27 October 2025. Emergency hazards must be investigated and made safe within 24 hours.
