Repairs satisfaction survey

Shortly after a housing repair is completed in your home, we will send you a link by email or text message. If we don't have these details on your tenancy record, please contact us to add your current mobile phone number and/or email address so that you can tell us what you think about the service you receive.

As always, we will never pass your information outside the housing service or ask for any financial details. The results of this survey will help us to improve services. 

If you have any queries, please email talk-to-us@dacorum.gov.uk
