Exception to the above would be if you have moved into a New build property within the last 12 months then please refer to your handbook which details the numbers to call in an emergency.
Emergency
For emergency repairs within office hours, please contact us on 0141 550 3581. For an emergency repair outwith these hours please use the numbers above.
The contractor will endeavour to attend within 4 hours and where possible the service will be restored or the item made safe as soon as possible.
A follow up job line may be created to fully complete the repair.
Emergency repairs are those where there is a risk to your safety, danger to health and to prevent serious damage to the building or total loss of services
Non-Emergency
For non-emergency repairs, please contact us on 0141 550 3581 then press option 1. We will attempt to complete these repairs within 8 working days (10 working days for external repairs)
We will endeavour to have repairs in this category attended to within 8 or 10 working days depending on the type of repair involved. If the repair is inside your property we will arrange a mutually agreed 2 hour slot with you for our contractor to attend and carry out the work. Where the nature of the repair affects your comfort or convenience we will do our best to get you the first available appointment for the trade required. Where the job is external and the contractor can reach the area without you being in attendance then there is no need for an appointment to be made.

Our Free Handyperson Service:
Our FREE Handyperson Service
The Handyperson Service is provided by Thenue and delivered by Glasgow Care & Repair.
The Handyperson Service is available to Thenue tenants where all members of the household are aged 65 & over OR have a disability or long term medical condition. The Service provides practical assistance by carrying out small repairs and tasks around the home.
- The labour is FREE OF CHARGE - payment is only required for any materials required to be purchased by the Handyperson. Materials could be things like a light bulb, shelf, wireless doorbell, towel rail or curtain pole. The Handyperson can purchase these items for you or you may wish to provide them yourself. There are also many jobs you may require which do not require materials, such as moving furniture from one room to another or moving large items outside for uplift (uplift is the responsibility of the tenant), turning heavy mattresses, changing curtains, replacing a washer, light shades, adjusting roller blinds, plane internal doors after new carpets fitted or re-seal around the bath. Some small jobs around the garden may be carried out such as repairing locks on huts, gates, hanging flower baskets or supplying and fitting an external grab rail (not bannisters).
- Glasgow Care & Repair also provide signposting to Thenue tenants to local contractors for jobs such as: connecting washing machines, painting and decorating or building flat pack furniture.
Thenue tenants can contact Glasgow Care & Repair direct on: 0141 433 2749 or email: or click on the link below to access an online referral form:
