What can you expect from the new repairs service?
Our new service will offer residents a number of improvements, such as:
Repairs appointments will be made at the first point of contact
Repairs will be fixed first time where possible, therefore reducing the number of return visits needed to fix the issue
Increased rate of appointments being made and kept, which will result in reduced waiting times
Any follow up appointments will be made directly with residents in their own home to avoid any further delay
Improved communal repairs service
Enhanced communication of the service between Kier and resident
