Overdue repairs
Ealing Council is reviewing its housing repairs service performance and strategies to improve resident satisfaction and response times.
Ealing Council's Housing and Environment Scrutiny Panel reviewed its housing repairs service in October 2026. The panel noted overall performance improvements over the past year, but also identified under-performance in August 2026. This was attributed to contractor resource pressures, vacancies, and service transition activity. The panel discussed strategies to enhance resident satisfaction and service delivery.
As part of this review, the Ealing panel visited the new Repairs Diagnostic Centre (RDC), which launched in August 2026. Discussions focused on improving repairs response times and resident communication. The RDC's performance was updated to the panel, alongside wider strategies for the repairs service.
