Our Repairs and Maintenance Service is responding to emergency repairs and those where if left unattended, would leave our clients at risk.  Please consider this before reporting a repair. Ask yourself the following questions before dialling our number:-

• I could be diverting repair services away from a genuine emergency.  Is this really an emergency? 
• Could this repair wait?

If the repair is needed, social distancing in accordance with Public Health England guidelines need to be adhered to (2 metres distancing).

Phone lines are expected to be busy over the coming days and we ask that if your query is not urgent, please wait to contact us at a later date.

Whilst we are aware that your priority is to ensure the safety of our tenants we would like to remind you that at this time AHS still have a duty of care to continue to carry out our compliance and health and safety visits across all of our properties. Whilst we will endeavour to minimise these visits we would appreciate your cooperation in allowing access for these visits.

Thank you for your support during what is a difficult time for all.
