WHO REPAIRS WHAT

We are responsible for the structure of the property, communal areas and the fixtures and fittings we supplied.

You are responsible for any items you bring into the property, including all white goods (fridges, cookers etc), your garden and all interior decorations.

Please be aware that our repairs service doesn’t cover any damage caused by your, your family or visitors to your home.

There are also some repairs that we don’t repair. We will tell you about this when you get in touch with us. For example, if your sink is blocked, we will only send out a contractor if you have first tried to unblock it yourself. If the contractor tells us the blockage was caused by you (for example, food waste, fat or hair), we will pass on the cost of the repair to you.

The chart below gives you more details about who repairs what.
