Repair Priorities and Response Times

Shettleston Housing Association will prioritise reactive repair work on the basis of urgency.

The priority system will distinguish between:
a) Emergency Repairs– Repairs which if left unattended would seriously affect
the occupation of a property by posing a danger to the structure of the
building, the health of occupants or neighbours or by making a property
insecure.

Completed within 4 hours.

b) Urgent Repairs– Repairs which if left unattended would interfere with the
normal occupation and use of a property by a tenant.

Completed within 3 working days.

c) Routine Repairs– Those repairs not included in the emergency and urgent
categories and those that do not fall under the heading of Cyclical and
Planned.

Completed within 10 working days.

If there is something that needs repairing in your home, then please check below if it is something we can repair for you, then contact us to report it.

Who is responsible for what?

We are responsible for keeping in good repair the structure and exterior of your home and we will also maintain and repair most fittings in your home. Accidents can happen but you are responsible for the repair of damage to any item caused by yourself, family member or visitor.

What are you responsible for?

We do not insure your furniture, belongings or decoration against theft, fire, vandalism and burst pipes and other household risks. You need to take out your own insurance.

We can help our tenants and residents obtain home contents insurance easily and at a price that is affordable. While many people often hope that nothing will happen to their belongings, sometimes things can go wrong unexpectedly.

With a special scheme arranged and administered by Thistle Tenant Risks, our tenants and residents can protect their belongings and gain peace of mind knowing if the unexpected happens, they have cover. Information is available from your Housing Officer, or from our office. You can also contact your bank or check online for other home insurance providers.

The table below shows you a summary of who is responsible for repairing which elements of your home.
