Rechargeable Repairs

  • If a repair is our responsibility then you don’t have to pay for these repairs.
  • When you report a repair to us and if you, anyone in your home, anyone visiting you or your pet cause damage to your home, you will be responsible for the repair.
  • If we have to do the repair to make sure you and your home are safe, you will have to pay for the cost of the repair.
  • We will advise you of this recharge as soon as we can and how you can pay this recharge.
  • If damage is caused by a break-in or vandalism, we will carry out work to make sure your home is safe. We can only do further work if you give us a Police Crime Report Number (not an Incident Number).
