Once you assign the maintenance request to Local Heroes in your dashboard, they will look for Heroes in your area who are qualified for the job. If there is an available Hero they'll be matched and you'll be given each others contact details. The Hero will give you a call to arrange the appointment, at which point you need to update the time and date in your dashboard so the tenant knows when to expect the fix.
Local Heroes qualifications are checked to ensure they can do the job. They are covered by at least £2m Public Liability Insurance and agree to the Local Heroes code of conduct. A sample of all Local Heroes jobs are checked by a third party to ensure they are up to standard.
You will be sent a link by Local Heroes when the job is complete, from here you can make payment online by debit/credit card. Please do not pay your Local Hero in cash as it will not be backed by the British Gas 12 month guarantee.
