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.

From 22nd June you will be able to report non-essential repairs with us, but please bear in mind that we are prioritising the backlog and those people that have been waiting the longest.

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)

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 now closed in line with government guidance. The safety of our customers and the community is our main priority and as soon as it is safe to do so, we will reopen them. Thank you for your patience.
