If you live in a rented home, we maintain the structure, exterior and some interior parts of your home. While we carry out lots of repairs, you have some responsibilities too:

We prioritise repairs depending on the issue and always aim to fix emergency repairs within 24 hours.
If you have an emergency, we will carry out work within 24 hours of you reporting the problem to us. An emergency is something which could cause danger to your health or safety, or serious damage to your property.

You can request a routine repair online. The My Cottsway customer portals enables you to request some (but not all) routine repairs. Please check first to see if you can request your routine repair via My Cottsway, which is also available as an app on smartphones:

Examples of routine repairs
It is more cost effective for us to do some larger repairs, such as replacing windows or gutters, on a whole block or estate at the same time, or street by street, rather than in one or two houses. This may sometimes delay us dealing with a routine fault you have reported. We will tell you if there will be any delay when you report a problem.
We sometimes use texts to confirm the day and time for repairs you request and to send reminders and updates about the appointment.
You will know the text is from us as 'Cottsway' will display as the sender. Unfortunately, you're not able to reply to us via text but if you have any queries, please contact us.
Contact usIf you have symptoms of Coronavirus or any other illness that may be contagious, please call us in advance on 01993 890000 to rearrange your appointment.
We make appointments for all non-emergency repairs and offer morning or afternoon time slots. Please ensure you are available for the duration of our planned visit and be aware that sometimes repairs can overrun.
If we can't keep an appointment with you, we will try to let you know as soon as possible but if we do not give you 24 hours' notice, we will give you £15. Where possible we'll immediately rebook the appointment.
If you can't make the appointment, please contact us as soon as possible to rearrange it. Please give us at least 24 hours' notice so we can offer the slot to another customer.
Please be aware that severe weather may affect our repairs service. If so, we will update our website and social media accordingly.
