Planned home improvements
See how we can improve your homes, buildings and communal areas.
In 2021-22, we spent £111.5m improving homes, communal areas and residential blocks.
Improvements carried out include:
- installing new kitchens and bathrooms
- upgrading heating systems
- decorating communal areas and exteriors
- replacing windows
- fitting new external doors
- replacing roofs.
We also take on larger projects, like making buildings more energy-efficient, and improving or replacing communal facilities, such as lifts.
For day-to-day repairs, you can request a repair.

How planned improvement projects work
If we’re planning to improve your home, we’ll contact you in advance and let you know our proposal. If you’re a leaseholder we have a legal requirement to consult with you about the extent of the work, the likely cost involved, the proposed contractors, and to answer any queries or concerns you have about the proposed work.
You’ll be given contact details for your resident liaison officer and site team before any work starts. Your resident liaison officer will visit you beforehand to answer any questions, discuss any special needs you have and let you know when the work will be carried out. They’ll also contact you periodically during the works to make sure everything is going smoothly and answer any additional questions or concerns you might have.
You may not get the same work done as your neighbours, as works vary from property to property according to age and condition. If something in your home needs to be repaired, you can request a repair.
