We aim to pitch the level of service at a level affordable to all our residents whilst providing a decent environment to live in.
The types of services offered are tailored to meet the needs of an individual estate. If there is a Tenant Management Organisation on your estate, they may have taken on some of the maintenance duties. If you live in a Partners for Islington managed property, they adhere to the same standards as a Islington Council run estate.
If you have a query about, how your estate is maintained you can contact Housing Services.
