What Happens when I report a repair?
When you report a repair we need information about the issue and we will log the details on our computer system. We will also confirm your contact details.
We will tell you who will carry out the repair and they will show you ID when they call at your door.
We have an appointment system for repairs carried out by Hillcrest Maintenance and you may be offered a Morning (8am – 12 noon) or an afternoon (12 noon – 4pm) appointment. This does not include emergencies.
