Frequently Asked Questions

Why and how often will the accommodation visit/inspect my crib?

Their crib caretakers will attend every month to carry out health and safety checks in your crib to test the fire alarm and emergency lights. We will notify you in advance of when this will be. Your Crib Manager or a member of the management team will carry out inspections every term. The reason for these inspections are to check all is well in the properties and look for any required works- also it is great to meet their tenants throughout the year!

How do i prevent pests(Rats and Insects) in my crib?

Here are some quick points that can prevent pests:·Try and make a habit of cleaning up immediately after meals. Wash all dishes, wipe down tables or counters, and store leftovers in airtight containers. Cleaning up quickly prevents pests from making their way onto dirty dishes or uncovered foods.·When possible, buy food that comes in cans or jars. Pests like insects and rodents can easily chew through plastic, paper and cardboard.·Keep more food in the refrigerator or freezer. Few insects and rodents can make their way into these appliances (some food lasts longer when cool).·ALWAYS CLEAN! The kitchen needs to be cleaned more often than other areas of the home. Even the tiniest of crumbs can attract pests. Be mindful of brushing away crumbs and sanitising tables and countertops after any type of food prep. Sweep away anything that hits the floor.·Take out the rubbish as soon as it’s needed. Allowing rubbish to sit in the kitchen only invites pests over for dinner.·Keep your cabinets clean! It is important to inspect your cabinets regularly for exposed food, crumbs or signs of a pest invasion.

My dishwasher isn't working, what should i do?

Dishwashers need salt and rinse aid regularly- the filter also needs to be kept clean and clear of debris as this will cause blockages.

There is mould in my house what do i do?

Condensation mould forms when there is too much moisture in the air and it hits a cold surface.If the mould reoccurs after you have removed it and you are not drying clothes inside please report as an issue so we can investigate.

Our shower is flooding/ not draining when we use it what should we do?

If your shower is blocked do not continue to shower with it running over the top, as this will cause a leak and damage to the house. You need to unblock showers regularly and ensure the plug is free from hair.

My washing machine door won't open and my clothes are stuck inside - what should i do?

This often happens when the door is attempted to be opened before the door has unlocked after the cycle. Always wait 5 minutes before trying to open the door. If this is the case and it has been forced open this may be something that will require repairs that we may not cover the cost of. Sometimes, the washing machine will have a drain function, so please use this if possible before opening the door using a piece of string.

Our rubbish isn't being collected - why is this?

Please ensure that you are disposing of your household waste correctly and putting it out on the correct day (preferably the night before as this ensures collection, a lot of students aren’t up at 9 am!). You can search online when collection days are/what you can and can’t put in each bin. *This is important as the council reserve the right to refuse collection if the rubbish is disposed of incorrectly* If you think you need more council bins, please let us know and we can put in a request. You can find information on bin collections on your council website.

Always listen to the most recent email. Unfortunately, their maintenance team may have to attend to emergency problems which can take priority over your maintenance, hence them rescheduling the visit date.

Our power has gone out in our house: what should we do?

Firstly check with your neighbours to see if this is an area fault. You can also check on the national grid.There may be something that has caused the electric to trip inside the house.

Often these can be re-engaged – please do not force switches up – if they cannot be re-engaged or the issue repeats itself please report as maintenance.

What is the best way to report maintenance?

For general maintenance, reporting it through the Portal will mean that the issue is resolved as quickly as possible for you.
