Investment Programme
Working with contractors, we will deliver an ambitious improvement programme that will make each of our homes a place where people want to live at a price they can afford. The investment programme involves fitting new PVCu windows, new bathrooms and new kitchens, where needed.
What improvements will be made?
If your home needs improvements, here's an outline of what we may do.
Windows and doors – we will fit new PVCu windows and front and rear doors. The doors come in a range of colours and styles. We also fit new PVCu soffits, fascias and rainwater goods.
Kitchen – if your kitchen needs improvements you and the contractor will design a layout for the new kitchen together. You will be offered a choice of kitchen units, work tops, ceramic wall tiles, vinyl floor tiles and paint colours for walls.
Bathroom – if you need a new bathroom, you will get a choice of colour for the bathroom suite, bath panel, toilet seat, vinyl flooring and paint work. We may upgrade your existing electrics or rewire the property. We may also replace parts of your central heating system; this will depend on the age and condition of the existing boiler, pipework and controls.
External improvements – to help maintain and improve the look of our properties we will repair and redecorate any exposed timber or painted render and brickwork. This may include fences and gates.
Major external repairs – we will also carry out any major external repairs where we decide it is needed, such as re-roofing.
Environmental works – we are considering a programme of work to improve the environment in our communities. This may include changing the layout of estates or closing footpaths that cause security problems.
Before we do any work on your home, we will carry out a survey to see what it needs. You will get notice in writing of when any surveys or work will take place.
Once work has started, the contractor will have a tenant liaison officer on call to keep you informed, answer any questions and ensure minimum disruption where possible.
Our site manager will monitor the contractors and will be on hand to help.
