How can we help?
We want to make it simple for you to tell us about something. The easiest way is to report it online, but we offer a variety of other ways to get in touch.
Do it online
You can report a non-emergency repair using our online repair form , or see the sections below about how to chat to us on Facebook, call us or write to us.
If you have an emergency repair, please call us on 0300 500 0926 instead.
We provide a 24/7 emergency repairs service. We prioritise emergency repairs based on urgency and the risks to those in your home or to the public.
Sometimes, we may ask to carry out a video call to assess (and possibly fix) the problem remotely. If we can't resolve the issue this way, it will still help us to understand more about the repair.
We are sensitive to vulnerabilities so please let us know – or remind us – of any circumstances we should be aware of, when you call to report an emergency repair.
We have garages to rent in Dorset, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, West Berkshire and the Isle of Wight.
Anyone can apply to rent a garage from us – not just residents. You’ll need to be 18 or over and, if you do rent a home with us, you’ll need to have a clear rent account.
If you need storage space or parking, renting a garage could be a good alternative to self storage or on street parking. We can't guarantee that our garages will be watertight though, so please bear this in mind.
Rent a garageWe love hearing positive feedback about our people. Please tell us about your experience and we’ll make sure the staff member and their manager get your comments.
Give a complimentResidents in flats, housing for older people schemes, supported housing schemes or a house in multiple occupation, can ask us for a copy of the fire risk assessment (FRA) for their Sovereign building.
FRA requestLog in or register for MySovereign. You can contact us on there, find answers to common questions, tell us about a problem, make a payment, log a repair and lots more. It's quick and easy to use.
Have a concern about something?
We want to make it easy for you to know what to do if you’re facing anti-social behaviour (ASB) or other difficult behaviour.
Some problems count as ASB, others don’t, and some are criminal offences. Because of this, it’s difficult to know who to speak to for help. This advice hub tells you more - including links so you can report the ASB if that's appropriate.
Find out what to doIf you're concerned about a repair that you've already told us about, please email contact@sovereign.org.uk or direct message us on Facebook @asksovereign.

If you feel you, or someone you know, is a victim of any form of domestic abuse, or feels at risk, we can offer a range of advice and support. Domestic abuse is unacceptable and we’ll take firm action against those responsible.

It’s a priority for us to make sure our homes are let fairly to those people who need them.
If one of our residents commits tenancy fraud, it prevents us offering the home to those most in need. We take any form of unlawful occupation like this very seriously.

Call usOther ways to get in touch
You can write to us at:
Sovereign Housing Association Ltd, Sovereign House, Basing View, Basingstoke RG21 4FA.
We’re happy to arrange to see you in your own home, or another location in your community, if you need to speak to someone in person.
Don’t forget you can use MySovereign to resolve most of your queries but, if you’d like to speak to someone or arrange a visit, please call 0300 5000 926.
(This approach proved successful during the pandemic so we decided not to re-open our offices to walk in visitors. Most of our customers don’t live near one of our offices or might visit only to find the colleagues they need aren’t available. This way of working also helps our housing and property teams to be out and about more, supporting those who need face to face help or advice. We remain fully committed to providing quality homes and services across all the areas where we work.)
