Looking after your home

We work towards ensuring your home is maintained to the highest standards and annually invest in council homes. In this section, find out how we deliver planned maintenance.

Planned maintenance

We deliver an annual programme of replacements and upgrades in council homes. This can include replacing the following on a regular basis:

• kitchens
• bathrooms
• windows
• roofing
• external doors

These programmes depend upon the condition of the properties and their age, as well as meeting the Government's Decent Homes Standard.

We aim to have homes that will:

• meet the current standard for housing set by the Government
• be in a reasonable state of repair
• have reasonably modern facilities
• be warm and comfortable
• include any additional items agreed with tenants

In the year April 2021 to March 2022, we:

• installed 247 bathrooms 
• installed 251 kitchens
• delivered 92 homes where windows and/or doors were fitted
• installed 289 new boilers
• replaced 36 roofs
• completed rewiring to 44 homes
