Repairs and maintenance
We aim to maintain our homes to a high standard and deal with repairs as efficiently as possible. We are responsible for many of the repairs to our properties and communal areas. However, in some instances you may be expected to deal with them. For full details please visit our who’s responsible page.

How to report damp and mould
If you are experiencing significant or long-term problems with damp and mould in your home and we have not recently contacted you, or if you have had repairs or works carried out but are still experiencing issues, please contact us by email at DMTF@Newlon.org.uk. This is the email inbox for our team working specifically on issues resulting from damp, mould and leaks. One of our team will then contact you to review the problems you are experiencing and assess the best course of action.
You can find out more about this issue in our Dealing with damp and mould section.
Reporting a repair out of hours
If it is our of office hours and your repair is an emergency, please phone the Service Centre on 020 7613 8080 and a voicemail message will provide you with the numbers of contractors who can deal with your repair. Emergencies include total loss of water or electricity and dangerous structural damage, such as a collapsed ceiling.
