trinidad Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Hello fellow ED forum members,I was wondering if anyone knows the time frames of housing repair jobs the local council is responsible for? I have found a list of repairs the council is responsible for. namely:We're responsible for repairs to the structure, exterior and essential services to your home. These include:roofsfoundationsexternal doors, walls and windowsdrains, gutters and outside pipeschimneys and stacks (you're responsible for sweeping chimneys)brickworksmajor plastering repairsfloors and ceilingsinstallations for water, electricity and gas (including wiring, sockets, fittings, internal pipes and valves)Can anyone kindly help?

legalalien Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I can?t see time frames offered to the public but there do seem to be some in the ServiceLevel Agreement with Southwark Building Services, see page 7 of this scrutiny commission report from Feb 2020https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s88147/Appendix%201%20Housing%20Repairs%20Service%20Scrutiny%20Report%202020.pdfLooks as though the repair servicehas been problematic for some time, hence bringing it in house in 2018. An improvement plan was published in March 2020 with a proposed way forwardhttps://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s88291/Appendix%201%20-%20Priorities%20for%20Improvement.pdfRecent report on performance at https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s106084/Report%20Repairs%20Performance%20Report%20to%20Housing%20and%20Community%20Engagement%20Scrutiny%20Commission.pdfETA there?s a further improvement plan due for approval in June this year https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgIssueHistoryHome.aspx?IId=50028373&PlanId=727&RPID=3596800 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/306143-southwark-council-housing-repair-time-frames/#findComment-1572518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
