Excellent customer service

Great help with a question about rental payments. Quick and friendly service as always from Orbit, and today Urooj was very helpful in dealing with my payment issue. Answered and resolved quickly. Thank you

This company CDSI are a bunch of cowboys, with no respect for my property. I wish that they had never been allowed to enter my flat 😩

Poor customer care

I contacted the customer care team about a fire alarm that had been constantly going off from one of the houses currently being built. I spoke with Farzana, and then received responses from floor walker Paul.

Don't expect Orbit to help when someone dies.

My mother was a tenant with Orbit for over 40 years. Sadly, she passed away more than a month ago, and since then I have been trying to inform Orbit and arrange the return of her keys.

If you’re able to, please respond to the Trustpilot request with your details so we can pick this up with the right team. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Thanks, Emma

They do not have any customers care at all. I could not go out of my flat for 5 weeks because i would not be able to get back in because key fob did not work And my intercom did not work. So i had to sit at my window all day to let my partner in if he had to go out and orbit where not interested 🤔 when you ask to speak to a manager they are all ways in a meeting and they say they will call you back but they never do i have called 147 times over the last nine weeks and they are still in a meeting. So it must be a very long meeting. They charg you £20.99 a week service charge .for services what do not got . And when you call then there in a meeting as well .the complaints manage.\nR she is in a meeting as well .

JOB WELL DONE

I personally found the electrician sent to my flat to be extremely thorough, knowledgeable, polite and didn't muck about. He had a job to do and he did it extremely well: so far so good.

Orbit Has become one of the worst housing association landlords. Neglected property's, lazy staff, and general neglectful towards paying residents. I am fed up of paying for a property which is always having issues and trying to get orbit to fix these fixes in nigh on impossible. No caretakers are ever seen and the state of the communal areas and garages are a joke.

Absolutely appalling service

Absolutely appalling service. My nan who is an elderly woman was locked out of her flat from 4:00 PM and repeatedly told that an emergency repair person would arrive “within a few hours.” Those assurances turned out to be completely meaningless. She was not let back into her home until 8:00 AM this morning.

I did not like how Sureserve gas services would not take responsibility for their engineers actions when flooding the customers kitchen and wrecking a cooker while replacing a boiler, they would not compensate for a new cooker or any damage caused by their actions.
