Sanctuary Avaliações 

It takes a very long time to get an answer on the phone and if you have a full time job it is practically impossible to report a repair as the lines closes at 5. I managed to make an appointment after quite may atemps but despite given then the boiler code error so they would have an idea of the problem, the engineer who attended my address did not know what he was coming for. After he checked the boiler he said that he would talk to his manager to order the part. He assured me that this doesn't take long and the boiler would be fixed soon and I would get an appointment shortly, so far nobody has returned to repair it , very frustrating.

What went wrong…. what didn’t go wrong? Me and my friend lived there as 2 young girls and honestly this was the worst experience of our lives! From the damp, mouldy walls to the cannabis smell in the corridor. imagine having to wake up and smell cannabis first thing in the morning. It was awful, we had to terminate our contract earlier as the conditions we were living in were unbearable . our washing machine was mouldy and we were told it was replaced 1 year before our arrival which was obviously a lie… the dryer didn’t even work. The worst part about this was that when we wanted to terminate our contract, we were told we had to wait until the landlord finds somewhere new, i mean who does that? Many items had been damaged and i’ve still not even received compensation. Do not live here , it’s the worst place ever.

I have reported a bike shed issue in September as the lock on the bike shed was not working and I could not access my bike. I use my bike to go to work. It is nearly four months now and it is not mended or the lock is not changed. My bike is still locked inside. They gave me a date for repair and I waited for someone to mend it. No one turned up. Now, they emailed me to say that it will be repaired next year.
I never seen such a poor response and lack of service attitude from any other company. It is one of the worst companies and they should not be in this business.

Have reported one repair on several occasions using their online contact repair form.As of yet nothing.No reply back via email,phone,post.
Is Sanctuary Housing still continuing to use these online repair forms for their tenants to use.If not please let their tenants know.

Dont get involved with this housing association, they dont give a stuff about people just there money grabbing profit. They dont care!!and if got a problem with your neighbour's forget it as they are a waste of time and its not there problem. They will sell houses to drug dealers tho ,they are welcome in there eyes!(CASH) So yes bring your children up in these association streets an have them become there next dealers .

Very pleased with the result of the repair. The guy had a great personality explained everything he was doing. So recommend his work. Thankyou Sanctuary

28 days for someone to come out to a radiator with a hole in, then now they don't know when it will be replaced when it was obvious when I reported it i needed a new one

It took 14 years for Sanctuary to do this repair, however the workman who arrived was excellent he went back and reported what he found and then he was back within a week repair done excellent workman excellent work.

The 12 days of a Sanctuary Christmas:
12 workers skiving
11 flying pigeons
10 guttering leaks
9 Housing Ombudsman complaints
8 staff are off sick
7 ignored emails
6 bird spikes are falling
5 ignored emails
4 seagulls squawking
3 fence panels rotting
2 vulnerable residents
and a Sanctuary house in disrepair

I’ve had no hot water or heating for about two weeks they finally fix it now I’ve got a leak so I’ve had to switch of the main water line I have no water for me and my 7 year old son for 3 days because I need to call them back on Monday and they said it’s not guaranteed they will come out on Monday and fix it. they said switch on when needed water is used about every 10-15 minutes bearing in mind I spoke to Thames water and Thames water said they need to come and fix it incase of a leak they even gave me a reference number to give to my housing but sanctuary said they won’t be calling Thames waters

I dont know how this company has a contract to work for supported housing? Totally unprofessional and quite frankly liars

Haven’t had a working shower in weeks. I have 2 young children and sanctuary have said I should just drip wash from the sink as I do not have bath tub. They tell me not having a working shower is not important and they will get to me when they get to me. In this cold weather my 3 year and old and 6 year old must be cold drip washing from a sink. Absolutely disgusting.

Told plasterers coming today took day off without pay,they cancel on same day,and now cant come untill febuary.Soon be in touch if i cancel my direct debit,swan wasnt great,but these lot are an absolute shambles.And there answer oh we cant do anything.

I was told I was getting a camera for my safety and Alison could not be bothered replying after promising me a move by Debbie and Kirsty this is the worst housing had no lights in the block for weeks flat covered in mold and damp just get ignored by them

Honestly I can't believe that how sanctuary housing works but mentally Im disturb. Since I signed up contract and what the housing office promised was all fake. I have to keep chasing them every week. They come to do fence after 8month and still didn't finish but no follow up even I emailed the evidence that isn't fixed, no answer than I have to do pay from my pocket to fix privately. Kitchen cabinet they did it uneven one small one big , small handle and big handle . Window replacement which is supposed to do soon as I moved but still chasing for last 18months still calling everyone week and they keep telling me someone will call me but nothing. They told me that will replace main door for fire door which will have proper 3point lock system but person who came he just changed with small lock and that's all so my father had to put extra lock. Again I have to put money from my pocket. They're supposed to come and finish up with rest of the job but still chasing. I have also complained about parking situation and email the evidence that people blocking garden door and parking on entrance blocking my own driveway too but no action been taken. I try to get parking permit but have no joy and I'm mentally very disturbed and my physical health also not good I am about to have my operation soon as and I'm single mum of 3kids so it's really affecting me. I'm paying rent but looks like sanctuary only want rent and ignore the problem of tenants with repairs and all the issues and we can't able to enjoy our home . So many problems I have face with this new house and we have become victims my neighbor is not good he pushed my kids and me as he's always drunk and he didn't wanted me to even fix my fence and works who came from sanctuary started listening to him and started telling me I have mental issues instead of fixing the fence so really I want you to say is please re trained your workers and please respect the tanent and you can't leave without fixing the problem and sign of as finished. Someone should come to inspect after each job gets done to get bottom of the problem. Sanctuary have been westing my time and my kids as they have to miss the school when they make appointments and no one comes or says have no time today so have to reschedule but again same and I get latter from school if it's continue than I have to pay fine for not sending kids to school.. please be respectful and sort out issues which I already reported by phone and email many times as single parent I've reach out many times in last 18months but my health is getting worse and my hands are full. I do pay my rent on time every month so please do your job .

Did my job on time and was very good with information i needed i got the job done very quickly they did not mess about they did what they needed to do to get the job done as soon as possible i give them 10 out of 10 they don't need to be abused so don't do it they have a job to do so let them do it thank you

This company really need to be inspected for a very serious lack of services. I needed to cancel an appt for 28/11/2025 and have, so far spent over 4 hours on the phone, being redirected to different phone numbers and never getting through. No longer do they tell you what number you are in the queue, just saying you will be connected shortly. 4 hours of my valuable time. Then I tried to get onto website and it is so complicated. It has a section to 'cancel' an appointment but once you get to relevant section, there is no place to cancel. Unreal Sanctuary, you should be ashamed of yourselves. The website is 'not' user friendly and is not fit for purpose. I am writing this on behalf of one of your tenants, who has really suffered over the last 3 years with so many things. The help he has had, has been 'minimal' to say the least. No one listens, management, staff, etc. They have degrees in 'gaslighting'. True experts. Get a conscience Sanctuary and cease ruining tenant's lives. This company needs urgent changes.

It’s been 7 days of this weather, and I have been living without water or heating. Despite paying my service charge, no one seems to care or bother to provide an answer.

Very dissatisfied with sanctuary, waited 6 weeks for a repair for a leaking toilet the only one in the house. After numerous phone calls to sanctuary guy turned up after a Saturday text saying they will be there Monday morning at 9am so I had to take an unpaid day off work as no notice he only had an hour to do the job which he said would take to long so used mastic to bodge up the leak and told me to get a surveyor out as to much damage had been done as it had been leaking for so long .
