» Repair Categories

We categorise repairs depending on their urgency. Listed below are the categories, target response times and examples of the type of repairs that fall into each category.

EMERGENCY

Target response: 2 hours to make safe.

Target completion: 24 hours to restore service.

This category covers repairs which are necessary to:

- Prevent serious damage to the fabric of the building.
- Preserve safety, health or security of the tenant or his/her belongings.

Some follow up work may be required under the URGENT or ROUTINE categories.

URGENT

Completion target: 3 working days

This category covers repairs which if left unattended would seriously affect the comfort or convenience of the occupier or the normal use of the property.

ROUTINE

Completion target:

Electrical works - 5 working days
All other trades - 10 working days *

This category covers the majority of other repairs which Linstone is responsible for and which do not seriously affect the occupiers’ enjoyment of their home.

* Some items which have to be purpose made or specially ordered may take longer.

The Association also has a non-critical category for repairs. This is for work which is safe to leave meantime and can most cost effectively be carried out as part of a larger contract or under different weather conditions.
