Response process

Every repair is important to us. One of our dedicated staff will assess and assign a target time frame for each repair that will determine when you can expect our contractor or Technical Officer to visit your home.

Please do not make a follow up call to Bridge Housing before the time frame provided has expired.

Our repair categories and time frames are as follows:

Wherever possible, we will ensure repairs and maintenance are undertaken by our contractors at times convenient for you. We will keep you up to date on the progress of any outstanding repairs if they are delayed longer than we originally anticipated, for reasons beyond our control.

Important:
While every effort will be made to ensure our target time frames are achieved for every property under our direct management, where a third party e.g. leasehold program, is liable for repairs and maintenance or their approval is required, we will be only be able to enforce compliance in line with the Residential Tenancies Act (2010).
