Repairs Process Improvements

Following direct engagement with our customers, BCHA has reviewed and made key improvements to the repairs process in response to valuable feedback.

Customers raised concerns about long wait times for repairs referred to subcontractors. In response, BCHA will now regularly review subcontractor response times to ensure they align with our agreed Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Where timings fall short, we will work to improve performance and accountability.

We also identified a need for clearer communication around tenants’ responsibilities and key repair processes. These updates will be incorporated into the new General Needs Tenant Handbook, launching in 2025. Additional information, including guidance on managing and reporting damp and mould, is now available on the BCHA website under the Repairs and Maintenance section.

These changes are part of BCHA’s ongoing commitment to improving our service, enhancing clarity, and ensuring a more efficient and responsive repairs process for all our tenants.
