Repairs policy and timescales

Our repairs timescales have been updated to make it clearer when we are aiming to attend and complete emergency, routine and major repairs. You can see these updated timescales, below or visit:

Latest repairs service status

This updated policy applies to all landlords in the Housing Plus Group, excluding The Wrekin Housing Group. A separate Repairs and Maintenance Policy is in place for customers of The Wrekin Housing Group.

Later in the year, we’ll be working on a new repairs policy for the whole of the new Housing Plus Group and we want to hear from you. If you would like to get involved with shaping our new repairs policy, please let us know by emailing CustomerInvolvement@housingplusgroup.co.uk or calling 0800 048 8955.

Buildings Insurance and Contents Insurance

As your landlord, it is our responsibility to insure the building in which you live.
Buildings insurance covers the cost of repairing damage to the structure of a property, as well as the cost of replacing things like pipes, cables and drains. 
Buildings insurance does not cover your personal possessions. 

If you don’t have contents insurance, your personal belongings are not insured in the event of:

  • a fire
  • flood
  • burst pipe or leak

It could cost just a few pounds a week and bring you peace of mind. 

By taking out a contents insurance policy, you can relax knowing that everything can be replaced.We have an exclusive offer provided by Wessex Group and underwritten by Aviva.
For full details and to apply, please visit: contents insurance.

Who carries out my repairs?

Following our recent merger with Housing Plus Group, you may notice some changes when our teams visit you or contact you.

You may see:

  • New uniform colours and logo
  • Updated vans
  • New-look ID badges and letters

While things may look a little different, it’s still the same trusted teams delivering your services.

Your safety remains our priority. Please remember:

  • Always ask to see ID
