What you can expect from us

Our service standards explain the service you can expect from us when ordering and completing repairs.

Our approach is to:

• provide a one stop shop for maintenance through the repairs contact centre
• provide an emergency repairs service 24 hours a day, seven days a week
• provide all residents with details of council repair policies, including details of the repairs that are the responsibility of the Council and those that are a tenant or leaseholder’s responsibility
• provide a friendly and efficient service when you contact the Repairs Contact Centre to report a repair
• we will make an order straight away to the appropriate trade, provide a job number for reference and agree a convenient appointment to do the work

Our service standards:

• we will issue an order the day a repair is reported, unless it is necessary to inspect the job first
• we aim to respond within 48 hours to repairs requested by email to repairsrcc@hackney.gov.uk
• we will offer a morning (between 8am and 1pm), afternoon (between 12 noon and 4.15pm), Monday to Friday appointment for all non-urgent repairs
