The HabFix project is designed to help us catch up efficiently with non-emergency repairs that we couldn’t complete during Covid-19 lockdown. Planning for the next phase of our HabFix repairs programme is now under way.
What you need to know about HabFix and reporting your repairs
|
Whilst there was positive feedback about the HabFix programme, some tenants were disappointed that repairs they reported on or close to HabFix day itself could not be completed.
Taking this on board, we are asking tenants to give us at least 7 days notice of repairs, so that our contractors can arrive prepared for the work that needs doing on the day. So, you can choose to either wait for our call or complete the report a repair form.
If you need to report a repair less than 7 days before your scheme’s HabFix day, please complete our report a repair form, and it will be logged and dealt with after the HabFix day.
We also noted some tenants were conerned about risks related to Covid-19. We’d like to reassure you that the health and safety of tenants is Habinteg’s number one priority. All contractors are expected to wear appropriate protective equipment when working inside Habinteg properties. So if an operative needs to enter your home, they should be wearing a face covering and gloves as a minimum. If you have any cause for concern about Covid risk, please speak to your Neighbourhood Co-ordinator in the first instance.
If your Habinteg home isn’t part of a larger ‘scheme’ or estate, we’ll still phone you to ask about your repairs needs. We will then ask our contractors to liaise with you to arrange a convenient appointment for the work.
While these plans are in place, if local Covid restrictions are announced in your part of the country, we may need to re-plan our HabFix timetable, but we’ll keep you informed should this occur.
