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.

Which rules apply in Glasgow?

Scotland has its own court procedures. Repair obligations and the new investigation and repair timescales for damp and mould apply to Scottish secure tenancies.
