Priority is given to repairs classed as Priority 1’s (Emergencies) and Priority 2’s (Health and Safety issues) and essential Priority 3’s by the FM Helpdesk. EHU reserves the right to complete non-urgent works (P3, P4, P5 and P6 Repairs) at its discretion, and may also choose to package these works together for operational efficiency and to minimise disruption.
We recommend adding a comment or photo to your ticket within Invida Resolve. Go to ‘View Tickets’ and find the ticket you raised to provide the team with additional information for a more accurate response.
When you contact us, we will categorise your ticket as either ‘reactive’ or ‘planned’ maintenance. Reactive repairs or day to day repairs are defined as those repairs which are carried out on a responsive basis as the need arises and are not deferred for inclusion in planned maintenance programmes.
This includes often minor unplanned short-term repairs which are classified by urgency, such as:
- Fixing or replacing broken items
- Heating adjustments
- Fixing leaks and removing blockages
- Specialist cleaning requests
Works which require investment outside of reactive day to day operations are usually described as planned, such as:
- Heating/cooling system servicing
- Fire system safety checks
- Re-decoration & improvement
- Electrical rewiring
If you do report works to us which fall into a category of planned maintenance, we will try our best to advise you of a likely timescale for this work to be completed.
24 hours, 7 days a week. All emergencies MUST be phoned through to FM Helpdesk 01695 58(4455).
Emergency repairs are required when there is a risk to life, a real threat of serious injury or damage to property. When we attend an emergency repair, we will make the situation safe within 4 hours.
