As at 30 November 2023, 47 or 0.121% of occupied Service Family Accommodation (SFA) properties had a total loss of heating, and six or 0.015% of occupied SFA properties had a total loss of hot water for more than 24 hours, but less than 48 hours. Alternative forms of heating and sources of hot water are provided.

For those sites managed under the Built Estate Contracts, there were 291 reports of heating issues and 342 reports of hot water issues lasting for more than 24 hours in Single Living Accommodation (SLA).

This data includes heating and hot water issues that also affect common rooms, and kitchens. Issues could relate to singular rooms, or a single tap, and is not limited to total loss of heating and/or hot water for an entire SLA building. It is not possible to provide data for sites managed under other arrangements.
