To ensure everyone has a high-quality affordable home, it's vital we look after the places we already own and invest in our communities to keep our homes safe, comfortable, warm and dry.
Every year, we have a major works investment programme to refurbish and upgrade our homes and blocks, decarbonising more properties to help reduce energy bills for our residents.
The main focus of the investment programme is making sure all our rented homes are maintained to the Decent Homes Standard which is a technical standard established by the government for social housing. As part of this, we will be carrying out a range of works including mechanical and engineering, planned maintenance, refurbishment works and completing Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Assessments across all homes.

This month we have shared our first update on our Major Works 2024/25 Investment Programme, and we are committed to sharing news and updates with you at least every three months, as well as offering the opportunity to join customer engagement opportunities throughout the year.
September update
Welcome to the second update on our Major Works Investment Programme 2024/25.
We are committed to sharing news and updates with you at least every three months, as well as offering the opportunity to join customer engagement opportunities throughout the year. We are in the process of rolling out new replacement programmes which will cover a number of our rented homes. The homes identified with the greatest need will be prioritised.
We've been busy selecting contractors for replacement kitchens, bathrooms, windows and doors. A huge thank you to Mel and Tracy, PCH residents who willingly gave up their time to take part and hold us to account in our robust contractor selection process. We will let you know which companies have been successful in our next update.
Beyond improving homes, the contracts will also include social value commitments, these will provide support to local community projects and generate new employment opportunities.
In the future, we will be bringing you resident experience updates based on the improvements that have been made to their homes.
