How do we deliver it?

Our operatives are briefed to look beyond the job they were sent to: a stain on the ceiling, a missing smoke alarm or a cold, damp bedroom is noted and passed to you, because a reported hazard is your responsibility from the moment it is known.

Which rules apply in Coventry?

Social landlords must keep the structure, exterior and installations in repair (Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, section 11) and keep homes fit for human habitation. The Regulator's Safety and Quality Standard expects an effective, efficient and timely repairs service, and repairs performance is published through the Tenant Satisfaction Measures.
