Improving your Repairs Service: Your feedback and planned improvements
An update from Jonathan Hunter, the lead on the review of your repairs service.
As part of developing our Corporate Plan, you told us that having a really good Repairs Service was one of your top priorities.
Over the last six months, we’ve been carrying out a review of the repairs service which included a survey of customers on Our Voice to understand what we needed to improve.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their views. Using this survey alongside other feedback including complaints, we have identified the following key areas that will improve your future repairs service.
These include:
- Enhancing our online services for customers with improvements to the customer portal, to make it quicker and easier to report your repair at a time that suits you.
- Improving the way we identify the type of repair needed to help make sure problems are fixed first time wherever possible.
- Reducing the number of missed appointments by improving the way we communicate throughout the repair process.
- Clarifying which repairs are our responsibility and which are a customer’s responsibility, meaning we can focus on the repairs we should be doing.
- Looking at improving the way we tailor repair requests to reflect customers circumstances.
- Ensuring our contactors provide a consistently high-quality service.
- Improving the way we manage complex repairs, ensuring that these are completed in a timely manner and you are kept informed throughout.
- Making some changes to how we handle reports of damp and mould in your home to fix problems quickly.
- Increasing productivity in order to deliver a more efficient responsive repairs service.
We’ll continue to keep you updated through our eNews bulletins and the website.
