Before reporting a repair see if there is a simple solution you can try yourself in the list below.

Not maintaining temperature or door not closing?

Try Defrosting

Not draining or door not opening?

Check to see if there is an error code showing or if the filter needs emptying. Refer to the appliance manual for more details.

Not working properly?

Check to see if there is an error code showing or if the filter or water tank needs emptying. Refer to the appliance manual for more details.

Not cleaning effectively?

Check that the waste pipe is not blocked. Refer to the appliance manual. Don’t forgot to top up the salt and rinse aid in the dishwasher.

Has the power cut out?

Check to see if the fuse board has tripped. It could be that you have overloaded the system. Please unplug any unnecessary appliances such as hairdryers, straighteners, Hi-Fi systems etc. and check the fuse board.

Here is a video tutorial on how to re-set a fuse box:

Not draining property or leaking?

Remove all hair from the drain and use a drain cleaner. If your shower is leaking, first check that shower curtain and bath matt are being used. If it is still causing issues next step would be to check the sealant and grouting.

Not coming on?

Replace the bulb.

Not warming up?

Bleed the radiator. Check that the thermostat on the radiator is turned up and boiler is turned on.

Flashing error code or pressure dropped?

Refer to the appliance manual to see what this means. If the pressure is low you will need to re-pressurise your boiler.

Here is a video tutorial on how to re-pressurise your boiler:

Door with yale latch locks please check the snicket is not engaged preventing the latch from moving before reporting.

Here is a video tutorial on reducing condensation in your home:

To prevent mould appearing on the silicone in your bathroom make sure you regularly clean with mould and mildew spray. Condensation can also occur when the property is not being ventilated correctly. You must ensure the extractor fan is turned on, window opened after use and any damp clothes/bath matts are aired.

An emergency is classed as a fire, flood, gas leak, electrical failure, or boiler break down. If your issue is not an emergency, you should wait until office hours to report it.

In the event of a genuine emergency please call the out of hours contact our maintenance manager on 07720641034.

Towards the end of your tenancy we will email across End of Tenancy procedures and a cleaning checklist. This will help things run smoothly and avoid last minute problems or surprises. We will contact all tenants via email regarding the return of your deposit once your checkout has been finalised.

We are still requesting that tenants and landlords do not come in to the office where possible and to call the relevant office or email with any queries.
