Report A Repair

Visit Our Repairs Standard page initially for information on how we prioritise repairs and how we define emergency repairs.

Repairs (not heating and hot water systems)

Online 

Please use our step-by-step, online reporting service for non-emergency repairs. This service has easy-to-follow diagrams and text boxes.

This service is available 24 hours a day throughout the year. It provides you with a simple, convenient way to report your repair problem. By clicking on a picture you can identify the repair problem and send the details to us to action.

Repairs that are not emergencies will normally be carried out within 28 working days.

Apps & Tenant Portal

You can also use the Your Ashford app or Tenants Portal to report repairs.

Emergency repairs (outside normal office working hours)

Please call 01233 330366. 

This service operates outside of normal office hours on weekdays and all day and night at weekends and on public holidays.

If the repair is an emergency we will arrange for our contractor to visit. This will usually take place within the next two hours. The contractor will complete a repair or make the area safe until repair work can be done during normal working hours.

Please note, as with other repairs, you may be recharged if you, others in your household, or someone visiting you has caused the problem.
