Frequently asked questions about maintenance in halls

Do I need to be at home for you to fix the fault? 

No. Usually, you won't need to be in your room for our maintenance team to check and repair the fault. Only authorised staff will access your room.

You can help us to access the fault by making sure it is easily accessible. For example if you've reported a fault with your window or curtains, by making sure the area is clear of obstructions.

If we do need you to be at home to check out the fault, we will let you know. 

Do you work over the weekend?

No, usually not. Our maintenance teams work Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and the residences IT advisor is visiting your hall twice a week during the week.

How quickly will you deal with the fault?

We try to deal with small repairs before the end of the next working day. Emergency items will be prioritised. If we have to call an external contractor, repairs may take a little longer, but we will do what we can to speed things up and give you an idea of when work will be done.
