Coronavirus (COVID-19) - FAQs

All of our contact details can be found here.

Our offices are now closed to the public and our colleagues until further notice.

Our staff, where possible are working at home to stay safe and to continue providing essential services to customers.

Since 22nd June our repairs team have been working extra hours, with the help of our approved local contractors to tackle the backlog of appointments that occurred due to lockdown restrictions.

We are hopeful of being able to offer a more normal service very soon, but new guidelines could change this - we'll always keep you updated.

A huge thank you to all of our customers during this challenging time for their understanding and patience.

For us

When we arrive at your home we will...

• Make sure we clean any surfaces we come into contact with
• Wear any necessary protective equipment

For you

It’s all about distance…

• Just give us a minimum of 2m space at all times
• Once you’ve let us in, you and anyone else will need to move to a separate room from us (once we’re done, we’ll give you a shout)
• Please wipe down any surfaces we're likely to come into contact with, before we arrive

To help reduce the spread of the infection, the government is recommending that as far as possible, people should delay moving to a new home while emergency measures are in place to fight the coronavirus.

In line with the government’s advice to stay at home and away from others, we have paused all non-essential allocations and lettings which includes mutually exchanging properties to help reduce the spread of the infection while emergency measures are in place.

If you have applied for a mutual exchange we are seeking customers agreement for this to be delayed, unless deemed essential until the emergency restrictions have been lifted so we can all play our part in keeping the community safe.

Our outdoor play areas and gyms are being safely re-opened by our Grounds Maintenance teams, starting W/C 24th August 2020. Please read the COVID-19 signage before entering our outdoor play areas.
