  • Responding to queries from builders, contractors and customers in respect of snags that are reported at each relevant stage. Including defects at: practical completion, the liability period and at the end inspections.
  • Ensuring customer contact is made by phone, email or letter to assist the builder with any access issues.
  • Carrying out follow up calls to all customers, to ensure the defects through the DLP have either been completed or booked within target dates. Escalating the notice alerts if necessary.
  • Raising all remedial works as a separate job, ensuring the initial defect is confirmed complete.

  • Running monthly reports to check and monitor trends as required by the business.
  • Obtaining quotations, instructing works once approved, seeking completion confirmations and invoice processing.
  • Assisting with investigations of formal complaints as per the Housing Ombudsman Guidelines.
  • Notifying the relevant employee(s) when a Customer Care visit is required.
