We carry out planned maintenance work to ensure your rented home is kept in good condition. This includes repainting exterior surfaces, replacing kitchens, bathrooms, central heating, roofs, windows and doors.
We will repair items wherever possible, rather than replace, and there is a minimum life expectancy for the following items in your home:
We repaint exterior surfaces every 6 years as part of our planned maintenance programme.
We carry out property inspections every five years to ensure homes are safe and maintained to the Government’s ‘Decent Homes Standard’.
These ‘stock condition surveys’ are carried out by one of our surveyors, who look at your home inside and out. They will check its structure including the roof and loft - if you have one - as well as the main fittings, such as your windows, boiler, kitchen and bathroom.
As well as ensuring the property is safe, these checks help us to decide how long the major elements of your home will last before needing to be replaced. We use the information to plan future improvement works to your home.
For more information, see: Stock condition surveys
We will contact you 3-6 weeks prior to installation to agree dates with you and will communicate with you throughout to try to keep any disruption to a minimum.
IMPORTANT! The day before we start work you must ensure:
Most kitchen installations are usually completed within 5 working days, although they may take longer if building work is needed.
For more information on what you need to do and what you can expect during the installation, please ensure you read our quick guide to help everything go as smoothly as possible:
If an item is still in working order, we will continue to repair it until it is beyond economic repair.

You will be contacted by our contractor before the work will begin so they can make arrangements with you to access your home.
The contractor will also want to discuss any relevant choices you need to make, for example the colour, style, or design of the item they are replacing.
