Planned maintenance
To make sure all our homes meet modern living standards, we invest to improve our properties and the areas surrounding them.
Our modernisation and renovation work is an ongoing process. We develop plans to update homes in different neighbourhoods on a regular basis.
The type of investment work we do, and when we do it, depends on a range of issues. This includes how old the property’s fixtures and fittings are, and rules and regulations covering things like heating and electrical wiring.
We work hard to make sure that the homes we manage meet the Government’s Decent Homes Standard by:
- replacing windows and external doors
- replacing and updating kitchens and bathrooms
- modernising heating systems
- upgrading electrical rewiring
- carrying out roof work and guttering work
- improving property boundaries
- upgrade and install fire detection and suppression systems to multi-storey buildings.
Depending on the work we’re doing on your property, you may be able to have a say on the fixtures we fit. You can find out more on the personalising your home page.
You can find out about the investment work planned for your area.
You can also find out what will happen and how you might be affected by the investment work planned for your home.
