Adaptations and Repairs
Repairs - Our Responsibility to You
We will do all we can to carry out any repairs to council tenancies which we are responsible for within a reasonable timescale. We are responsible for buildings and the outside of the property (including common parts) and for making sure that your home is wind and water tight and reasonably fit for human habitation.
Adaptations
At some stage in your life you may find that your home is no longer suitable for you. This may be because you find the layout of the house difficult if you are ill, elderly or disabled.
In these circumstances you can apply to move home, or it may be better for you to have your home adapted to your needs, if it is suitable to do so. This may include:
- Installing a shower over a bath
- Changing the height of worktops and kitchen units
- Providing grab rails
See our service information leaflets in the Downloadable Documents section below.
