An update on our repairs partner

Following a detailed review of cost and quality, and completion of the Section 20 customer consultation, we’re in the process of awarding Mears our long-term repairs service contract. This 10-year partnership is focused on delivering a more reliable, high-quality service.

We’ll continue improving current services as we prepare for the new service, which is expected to launch in late summer 2026.

Our specialist contractors

  • Alongside our main interim repairs partner, Mears, we now work with a number of trusted specialist contractors. Bringing in this extra support helps us deal with more complex and long-standing repairs, reduce delays, and get things fixed faster for you.

  • These specialists focus on repairs outside of Mears’ day-to-day work:

    • CCR Property Services (drainage)
    • Bell Group
    • Houghton
    • Armour Hart
    • Sureserve (heating)
  • What this means for you

    We believe it’s important to have the right people for the right job, so your home gets the care and attention it needs. By adding these specialist contractors, we’re already seeing real improvements and that means a better repairs service for you.
