Planned works
We are working to make improvements to homes in the Folkestone and Hythe district.
Planned, or capital, works programmes are to meet the cost of replacement and refurbishment rather than repairs. Typically, this includes:
- Kitchen refurbishments
- Bathroom refurbishments
- Replacing boilers and heating systems
- Replacing electrical equipment and rewiring
- Refurbishment of communal areas – lighting, door entry systems and fire prevention works
- Replacing roofs.
- Replacing doors and windows
- External work – repointing and rendering
- External decoration to communal areas of flats
- Carbon reduction work – insulation, photovoltaic panels and new heating systems.
The work covers those fixtures which may have reached the end of their practical life or do not meet the government's Decent Homes standard.
If your home is on a programme for replacement or refurbishment works, we will be in contact with you to arrange an initial survey and explain the works required, the contractor undertaking the works and the time it will take to complete the works.
