In July, Gilmartins partnered with us to provide customers with a responsive repairs service. So, if you need to report a repair to your home or a communal area, please call Gilmartins on Freephone number: 0808 178 6785 or email: hexagonrepairs@gilmartins.co.uk.
After Gilmartins have completed a repair(s) in your home, if we have your mobile number or email, we will send you a satisfaction survey by text or email. It would be helpful if you could complete this survey, so we know what your experience was like with the last completed repair. Your feedback will help both Hexagon and Gilmartins improve the responsive repairs service we provide to you and know where we are doing well.
We have been working with Gilmartins to ensure the start of the repairs service they provide you is as smooth as possible. Below, you will find a series of Q&As. Should you find that your question has not been answered in the list below, please do feel free to contact us at customer_desk@hexagon.org.uk.
