Council repairs: A guide for tenants and leaseholders

Repairs that are your own responsibility

Carry out some repairs and maintenance jobs around the home, such as:

  • re-attaching or replacing your toilet seat
  • replacing your bath or sink plug and chain
  • clearing minor blockages in your bath, sink or shower

Repairs like this are your responsibility and a full list can be found in the Tenants Handbook and Tenancy agreement.

We also expect you to make arrangements to have washing machines, dish washers and gas cookers professionally plumbed-in by a qualified person.
