Diocese of Chichester


The house that you occupy is provided by the diocese and supported by the work of the property department. Our aim is to ensure your safety and wellbeing while you occupy the property and, within our available resources, we will do all we can to achieve this.

If you wish to report an issue with your property then please e-mail property@chichester.anglican.org with details or telephone 01273 425 683

Alternatively, each parsonage house in the diocese is allocated a Maintenance Surveyor – the map below can be used to determine which surveyor to contact.

Emergency Contacts for Christmas 2024 Holiday Period

From 3pm on Monday 23rd December 2024 until 9am on Thursday 2nd January 2025 the Property Department will only be taking emergency calls. If you need to report an emergency, please telephone 01273 425683. This will divert to a monitored answerphone that is checked regularly by a member of the Property Team. Please leave a message with your name, property, telephone number and details of the issue and someone will call you back.

Please note, examples of an emergency are significant water ingress into a property, electrical failure, boiler breakdowns etc. Attendance may not be as quick as in normal working hours, so you are encouraged to make every effort possible to limit damage if it is possible and safe to do so.

You may report any non-urgent issues via e-mail or Fixflo as usual, but please note that these will not be picked up until the new year.

If you have any issues regarding boilers and hot water, please call Paynes Plumbing and Heating directly on 01825 891720.

We hope you don’t have need of any of these services during this time and enjoy a safe, peaceful, and happy Christmas and New Year.


With all best wishes from the Property Team.
