Unity sets priority timescales for different categories of repair:

Should any follow on work be required this will be undertaken within our urgent, routine or non-routine priority timescales depending on the actual work required. We will agree a timescale with you as to when such follow on will be completed.

Urgent

Defects which seriously affect your comfort and convenience. Urgent repair jobs will be attended and completed within 3 days. We aim to complete 99% of these repairs within our priority timescale. Should any follow on work be required this will be undertaken within our routine or non-routine priority timescales depending on the actual work required. We will agree a timescale with you as to when such follow on will be completed.

Routine

Defects which cause minor inconveniences. Routine repair jobs will be completed within 21 days . We aim to complete 99% of these repairs within our priority timescale. Should the complete renewal of a component be required (A new door, a new kitchen, a new bathroom etc.) this may take a little longer due to having to order materials. We will agree a timescale with you as to when such renewals will be completed.

Non-routine repairs

Defects considered to be discretionary or minor repair works. We will agree a timescale with you as to when these will be completed.
