It’s important to keep your property in the best possible state of repair and it is the tenant’s responsibility to promptly report any repairs or maintenance.
The best way to report a maintenance issue is to call us on 01202 301244, and select 3. Alternatively, if you decide to email us you will need to give your full address, telephone number and the nature of the problem maintenance@dwphousing.co.uk Please note that emails are only picked up during office hours we do aim to respond within 48 hours.
If repairs are necessary in communal areas of the property please also report these.
