We carry out a planned maintenance programme every year to keep your home safe, warm and comfortable.
We upgrade major components in your home when they reach the end of their useful life. Work is scheduled based on geographical areas and component replacement dates recorded as part of the stock condition survey.
We aim to complete planned maintenance work quickly and efficiently and you will be notified in advance of any planned changes to your home.
The work can include:
Kitchen units, bathroom fittings and electrical upgrades
We allow up to 10 working days to complete kitchen and bathroom replacements. ESH Living are our internals improvement contractor.
We offer a choice of materials and colours which you can view below:
Window and External door replacements

Energy work (such as loft top ups, cavity wall insulation, and external wall insulation)
