You said we could do more to maintain our properties and estates
- Stock condition surveys are being undertaken, which will inform the planned maintenance programme for all our estates.
You told us you are frustrated with some of the communications.
- We continue to review and adjust processes that will help with quicker response time. We are enthusiastic about customer service and our staff receive continuous training around deliver the best service to you. We are working really hard on this. Continue to call us on 020 4551 0080 or email talktous@cds.cop to raise a repair. If we are not able to take your call, leave a message and we will call you back.
You told us that when you report multiple repairs, they are not always all completed by the contractors.
- We always try to gather detailed information when repairs are reported, so we can pass it on to our contractors and avoid multiple call outs due to insufficient details. For repairs with more than one element, we encourage residents to email us a list of issues needing attention, so we can work together with the nominated contractor to resolve the problems. Our advisers are now checking with residents on the phone or by email the issues reported to ensure none have been missed. We list all issues reported on the job raised to the contractors to make sure there is a clear audit trail when the completion is reviewed. We also aim to contact residents after a repair has been completed to make sure you are satisfied.
