Raising a grounds and estates job

 

A grounds and estates job is work that is needed to your communal area, that's maintained by VIVID, and needs to be completed by our caretaking or landscaping teams.
These could be jobs such as:

There's a few options to do this, such as:

 

  • You can report routine jobs through your online account by going to 'Manage property' and selecting 'Grounds and estates'
  • You’ll be able to see updates to your request and message the team direct in your active case, once you've raised your job
  • You can login 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • Login or register today to get started. If you're registering, you'll need your customer reference number to hand

There may be different reasons for why you're not able to raise your grounds and estates job, such as:

Some grounds and estates jobs may be urgent due to the health hazards they pose.
Please give us a call on 0800 652 0898 and we can look into this with you.

Some properties, like houses, won't have a communal area for grounds and estates are the property private gardens would be customer responsibility. We're aware that some houses might be part of a larger estate that we're responsible for, so we will be launching this soon.

If you have a managing agent in place, then you won't be able to raise a grounds and estates job with us, as the managing agent would be responsible.

We complete some work on a planned maintenance appointment. This means that we schedule in appointments to regularly attend set jobs, such as grass or hedge cutting.
In your online account you can view your planned maintenance under 'Manage property'.
You can find out more about planned maintenance in this video:

If you're unable to view the above video, you can also find it in YouTube too.

Our teams will review the job and be in touch with you if there are any queries or more information needed.
They will then book the job in for it to be either inspected or actioned.
