Engineer was good

Engineer was good. I missed one appointment and rearranged one appointment which they sent an engineer anyway. Then I got 2 threatening letters for technically missing one appointment it over the top it’s not my fault they sent an engineer out even though I rearranged the appointment . Disgusting behaviour!!!!!!!!!!

I own a property in Bexleyheath

I own a property in Bexleyheath, Kent that unfortunately has orbit as as the property management. Orbit very kindly offered to replace all the front doors on all of the property’s in my particular building, owned and rented. Since the door has been fitted I’ve had constant problems with it, mainly with the door latch/locking mechanism. I have also had to replace the door handles on both sides and the doors are probably only a year or so old. Two nights ago my daughter who lives in the second floor property went to go out at around 9pm and couldn’t get out the front door. The door wasn’t locked but the latch to simply open the door wouldn’t work. This has happened before but after fiddling about it’s normally opened, not this time. We contacted orbit to report it and pointed out that it’s a potential fire risk and as usual they’re not interested as I own the property. We managed to get a locksmith out and after two hours of being there he got the door open. I have since called orbit to find out who installed the doors so I could contact them directly and got told that they don’t actually know who installed the new doors. I can only think that orbit have used a really cheap company that has now gone out of business which is why they can’t pass the information on. Just beware anyone living in these properties that orbit have fitted new doors on are at risk, the are a fire trap. Other people in the building have also been experiencing problems with the doors but nothing seems to get done about it, and probably won’t until someone is seriously injured or worse case killed. I am hopefully going to sell my property and get well away from orbit.

Exceptional Service from Mr Simon Nworji - A True Star!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mr. Simon from Orbit Housing Association, who managed my Stage 2 complaint after a prolonged (9 years) and challenging repair issue at my property relating to adjourning conservation area owned by Orbit. Simon's level of customer care was nothing short of impeccable throughout the very lengthy process.From the very beginning, Simon was incredibly attentive, invested, and truly compassionate. He displayed remarkable patience and professionalism during moments of frustration and emotion, always remaining calm, cooperative, and reassuring. Simon ensured that I was involved in every step of the review process, consistently checking if I was satisfied with the proposed outcomes. His dedication to resolving my issue was evident as he went back to management, possibly over 10 times, until my complaint was rightfully upheld.Simon's timely involvement and unwavering professionalism were key to the successful resolution of my case. Without his support, I would have been left in a much more difficult situation.Dear Simon, if you ever get to read this review, thank you a million times. You are truly a star, and I am incredibly grateful for your help. Orbit Housing Association is lucky to have someone like you on their team.

Boiler Temperature during the summer

I was employed as a self employed cleaner at 6 Anne Boleyn Court in Chatham.During the winter some new boilers were put in Valiantcompared to the old boilers every time I arrived the small bungalows seemed very over heated compared to the old ones. As it turned to summer seemed the boiler temperature was unable to be turned down.Resident had a seizure at home one evening it was reported. Went into hospital arrived home very very weak then returned to hospital and died after a stroke.
