Coronavirus: Due to the government announcement on 4th January we are responding to requests for emergency repairs and gas repairs only.

An emergency repair is any problem that could be a security risk or cause harm to you, another person or to your property.

If your repair is an emergency, please call our Customer Service Centre on 01772 667 002.

We will ask questions to make sure we keep you and our colleagues safe before arranging a repair.

Please note we are not able to book in repairs that are not an emergency.

We will reintroduce routine repairs as soon as we can and we will let you know when we are able to restart our normal repair service. Our website will also have the latest service updates.

Please be aware that gas and electrical safety checks will continue wherever possible.

Once our normal service delivery is resumed, the online feature to report a repair will be made available again.

Thank you for your patience at this time.

Reporting a repair is quick and simple. Taking care of your home has never been simpler or easier. Places Homes is responsible for many (but not all) repairs in its customers’ homes. You should check the repair responsibilities before reporting a repair.

Before you start

You should know that:

  • Some minor repairs are your responsibility. Check whether the repair is your responsibility.
  • You will have to pay for repairs caused by accidental damage, misuse or neglect.
  • If you’re elderly or disabled then you can use a handy person service from your local authority to get free help with smaller repairs. 

Emergency repairs

All emergency repairs need to be reported by phone. Please call us immediately on 01772 667002 to report an emergency repair. The line is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Emergency repairs that should be reported immediately include:

  • Gas leaks
  • Uncontainable water leaks
  • Complete loss of heating and hot water
  • Electrical or fire risk
  • Property security

An emergency repair is any problem that could be a security risk or cause harm to you, another person or to your property.

The easiest way to report a non-emergency repair is online. Once signed in to your online account, you can provide details of the repair, upload photos of the issue and schedule appointments at a time that suits you.
