Decent homes and major works

The Council may undertake major structural repairs and improvements to extend the life of a block - for example, the replacement of windows, new insulation and roof repairs.

When will major works be carried out?


Major works will only be undertaken to blocks of flats if they are:-

  • Necessary for proper maintenance, improvement or modernisation

  • To maintain and preserve structural integrity and mains services

  • To comply with statutory requirements

  • Of an urgent nature to ensure the safety and well being of the building or its occupants

  • Considered to be reasonable

We will consult with you about any proposed works that you will be charged for. Please see the section on Consultation
