The Barbican Estate Office maintains a database on all properties and periodically residents will be requested to complete a database amendment form. The information will be used in the case of accident or emergency and may be used for other City of London Corporation purposes. All personal data will be processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

Started in April 2025, the Barbican Estate Office (BEO) issues an annual survey to residents to monitor satisfaction levels with property services provided by or managed by the BEO Property Services team. The results of the survey allow us to monitor performance over time for our own services and our contractors'.

A report outlining the survey data and how we are responding to feedback can be found below. Please note that all questions in the survey are optional, and as such not all questions will add up to the total number of responses received. 

We do our best to provide great services, but there’s always room for improvement. We value your comments and suggestions to help us provide better services. You can also tell us if we are doing something well, it lets us know when you are receiving good service.

If you have a complaint regarding the Barbican Estate services, please let us know and we will do our best to resolve the issue. We want to learn from our mistakes and prevent similar problems in the future.

Report an issue for the first time

If you are reporting something for the first time, we need an opportunity to resolve it before you submit a complaint. Rather than making a complaint that can take time to progress, you can first report a problem and we can begin resolving the issue immediately.

You can report issues such as:

  • estate cleansing
  • missed communication
  • missing signage
  • graffiti
  • fly tipping
  • anti-social behaviour (including noise nuisance)
  • communal repairs

You can report any repairs or issues in communal areas directly to the Repairs Service Desk, or to the Barbican Estate Team.

Complaints

If we have not been able to resolve your issue, you can make a formal complaint.

For full details of how our complaints process works, including how to make a complaint and what we can accept as a complaint, please view our Complaints Policy below. Further resources are also available at the bottom of this page.

Information you need to provide when making a complaint

We would like to know:

  • what the complaint is about
  • the date the problem occurred or when you became aware of it
  • what you think the Barbican Estate Services Team have done wrong
  • what you think the Barbican Estate Services Team should do to put things right

Help us to help you by providing any relevant dates, names of staff and copies of relevant letters or other documents to support your complaint.
