0800 Repair, part of Pacifica Group, is to provide a range of home heating services to 3,500 homes on Teesside.
North East-based housing association North Star Housing Group, which owns and manages the properties, awarded the contract that will provide warranty work, servicing, gas safety checks and 24-hour repairs on heating systems.
