We are endeavouring to maintain as many services as possible and remain fully contactable on 08000 274 007 and via info@fifehg.org.uk. Please also note that our text number changed to 07520 632 740 on Monday 6 April.
Although we are currently restricting repairs to emergencies and gas/electrical safety checks only, non-emergency and routine repairs are being logged to be scheduled as soon as possible after we are advised that it is safe to do so.
With this in mind, we continue to monitor government guidance closely and are already looking at how we might start to reinstate additional services as we enter the next phase of lockdown.
A more detailed update on our services can be found here.
The health and safety of our tenants, other customers, contractors and colleagues is paramount during the current COVID-19 pandemic and we are committed to following the guidance issued by the Scottish Government and Health Protection Scotland.
Our colleagues and contractors are fully aware of their responsibilities and are taking all possible precautions to safeguard themselves and others against the risk of infection.
With this in mind, we ask you to minimise interaction with our tradespeople as they carry out work in your home by following the guidance in this leaflet.
