Housing Repairs Policy

Living in safe and decent housing is an essential aspect of a good life. We recognise that the quality of our repairs service has a direct impact on the quality of life, health and wellbeing of our residents. 

As a social landlord, we have a responsibility to keep tenants and leaseholders safe in their homes. The Repairs Policy sets out what tenants and leaseholders can expect from Camden’s repairs service, including targets for response times and how we prioritise emergency and urgent repairs.

The policy outlines the Council’s approach to managing and responding to repairs, reflecting the importance of maintaining safe homes for residents. 

How to report a repair

Tenants can report and track a repair online or by WhatsApp, live chat or SMS 7 days a week. For day-to-day repairs, these are the only way to report a repair.
