Automated telephone repairs

We have been developing an automated Repairs ordering telephony line, to offer customers an alternative route for ordering repairs.  The process takes about ten minutes, and you do not need to queue to log your repair.  We want to get feedback from customers so we can offer the best possible experience when using this service.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this feedback form. Your responses will help us to improve services for all tenants.

Instructions for Testing

To place a repair request, simply:

  1. Think of a repair you might like to order on the Repairs Automation line (please note this test line will not order real repairs for you).

  3. Select the “Repairs” option and follow the voice prompts. You will be guided through the process of providing essential details about the repair needed, including property address, contact information and a brief description of the issue.
