Plumbing & heating help for tenants

Know how to report a problem clearly and what to expect from an authorised visit. If you rent your home, contact your landlord or managing agent through their repair reporting process.

Report the fault to the right contact

Tell your landlord or agent what is wrong, when it started and whether the problem affects heating, hot water or a water fitting. Include any boiler error code visible without removing covers. Follow the landlord’s emergency arrangements; a Corva enquiry does not automatically authorise a repair on their behalf.

Make an appointment easier to complete

Once a visit is authorised, agree who provides access and how the engineer can reach the affected area. Mention controlled entry, parking or communication requirements through the agreed booking channel. Do not publish sensitive personal details in a general job description.

Keep a useful record

Note the date you reported the issue, the reference provided and the appointment arrangements. Explain if the fault changes or becomes urgent. Requests about compensation, tenancy rights or complaints about your landlord should go through the appropriate landlord or advice route; Corva can discuss its own work and attendance.

Plumbing & heating help for tenants: your questions

Clear answers before you arrange the next step.

Can I instruct work and charge my landlord?

Do not assume you have authority. Follow your tenancy reporting process and confirm who can approve the work and payment.

What if I smell gas?

Get to a safe place and call 0800 111 999 for a mains-gas emergency. If there is immediate danger or serious illness, call 999. Do not wait for an online repair response.

Can I track an authorised Corva job?

Ask the team about the updates available for your job. The My Corva area on this private website currently demonstrates the customer experience.
