Reporting a repair
What we will do
We aim to carry out repairs we are responsible for quickly, considerately and to a high quality. We also have a planned programme of maintenance and servicing to keep your home in good condition and to meet our legal requirements as a Landlord.
We will inform and involve you about any maintenance or servicing planned for your home. We will also check that you are satisfied with the work when it is completed.
What you need to do
In return, we expect you to look after your home. You should carry out any repairs you are responsible for as soon as possible. You must also allow us into your home to carry out any necessary repairs or servicing.
Reporting a Repair
Before reporting a repair, please check whether the repair is our responsibility or your responsibility here.
If it is our responsibility, or if you’re not sure, please contact Cyswllt Cynefin.
Recently moved in
If you have recently moved into a brand new home, you may be eligible for repairs under guarantee.
Insurance

Welsh Housing Quality Standard

Stock Condition Survey
Grŵp Cynefin is undertaking a programme of stock condition surveys, and your home is part of this programme. A stock condition survey allows us to identify any work required within your home, and plan for future works. This will involve a surveyor coming to your home and carrying out a survey. It will take around 45 minutes.
Any work required will be picked up by the survey and added to the planned maintenance programme, unless the work required is a health and safety issue. If that’s the case, we will send someone out to inspect your home and where necessary, repairs will be carried out.
