Over the last year, we’ve made progress in a number of areas, with changes to our repairs service and improvements to how we manage damp and mould, anti-social behaviour and complaints.
We’ve also provided support to thousands of customers, including those experiencing financial difficulties, homelessness and domestic abuse.
However, we recognise there’s still more work to do to improve and deliver services to the standards you expect and deserve from us.
To achieve this, we’ve put in place robust improvement plans that cover repairs, complaints and how we respond to and manage your enquires.
In 2023/24, we:
- Recorded an average customer satisfaction score with our repairs, complaints and customer contact centre services of 78% (target: 82%). This was the score you gave us when surveyed after using one of these services
- Expanded our range of customer feedback measures with the introduction of the Tenant Satisfaction Measures, developed by the Regulator of Social Housing. Overall satisfaction from social and affordable rent customers was 58%
- Continued to invest in supporting customers and community projects, which together these had an impact on local neighbourhoods worth £12.3m (known as social value*)
- Invested £38m in fire safety works
- Helped 2,245 customers to access £9.7m in financial support
- Built almost 700 new homes, of which 329 were affordable
- Delivered 95,000 repairs in customers’ homes.
Ian Wardle, A2Dominion’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “Last year saw the beginning important changes at A2Dominion. Having listened to your feedback, we knew we hadn’t been performing to the standards you expect and deserve.
“We started working with customers more to develop plans for improving your services and shaping future priorities. We’re making progress, and while we recognise there’s still lots to do, we’re determined to get there.
“We’re focusing on responding to your enquiries more quickly, delivering a faster and better-quality repairs service, and tackling damp and mould and anti-social behaviour more effectively.
“We’re also working to increase your satisfaction with how we resolve your complaints and getting more customers involved in shaping our services.
“We have a clear plan of improvement over the next 2 to 3 years. We are committed to building stronger foundations and doing better for you.”

* Social value is a way to measure the impact of our projects. The social value calculator, used across the housing sector, enables us to quantify the value of things such as support for wellbeing and mental health, and to measure the unseen financial value of our services to the people and communities who have used them.
