Our Service Standards for home improvements

We will

  • Survey your home once every five years to see what needs improving.
  • Proactively replace things like heating systems, bathrooms, kitchens, windows and doors within our target timescales.
  • Bring forward home improvement works when the item’s condition means that replacement is necessary.
  • Consult with you before doing any planned work. For some types of work, we’ll visit beforehand so you can choose from a selection of colours and finishes.
  • Give you a direct point of contact to keep you updated and answer any questions.
  • Monitor contractor performance using customer feedback.
  • Make adaptions to your home if your mobility is affecting your ability to live independently, the process usually takes 4 weeks for minor adaptions. Timescales for large adaptions will vary as they depend on your local authority’s grant process. We will communicate the timescales to you during process.
  • Act as your agent to help you access any disability grants that may be necessary for 
    large adaptions
