If you have an emergency, please contact one of our listed emergency contractors directly.
Repairs
If an emergency occurs during office hours, you should phone us as soon as possible on 01595 694986. Out of office hours, you should call the emergency repairs response centre on 01595 692387, if the repair is an emergency according to the Association's Maintenance Policy they will arrange for a contractor to attend.
We are legally obliged to maintain your home in a fit and safe condition and we think it is good practice to minimise the effects of age, use and weathering. Equally, we expect you to undertake basic maintenance, as explained in your tenancy agreement, and it’s important that you alert us to the need for repairs, especially if there is any risk to life or limb or the property is likely to suffer further damage.
We employ our own maintenance staff but we also engage private contractors to carry out some work.
Under the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001, we must carry out small, urgent repairs within a given timescale under the ‘Right to Repair’ scheme.
The subject of repairs is dealt with fully in Hjaltland Housing Association’s Maintenance Policy.

Repair Priorities

Technical Advice
These days, houses contain more advanced equipment than ever before. Control systems for such things as central heating and hot water are more sophisticated than they used to be, offering more options.
