Fault reporting

If you're living on campus in halls of residence and you’ve noticed something that requires fixing, you can inform us by reporting the fault online.

Repair Requests

If you have a request for a repair, you can complete an online fault report form. However, if the fault is urgent, for example a power failure, please also report the fault to Student Information Centre on 024765 22280 during opening hours, or Community Safety on 024765 22083 (or 024 7652 2222 in an emergency) outside these hours.

Please note that our fault reporting forms will only be checked between 8:00 to 17:00 from Monday to Wednesday and 8:00 to 16:00 on Thursdays and Fridays. Faults reported after these times, on bank holidays or over the weekend will not be reviewed until the next working day.
