Housing repairs policy
Standardisation and choice
To offer the high standards of quality set out in this policy, but also ensure our future planned and responsive maintenance work is cost effective, where possible, we want to only use standard components approved by the Council. This will enable contractors to plan and ensure they have an adequate supply of any components needed, avoiding unnecessary delays and successfully completing repairs on the first attempt. We will also endeavour to offer some choice in future programmed work. This will take time however, to implement.
