We usually carry out major improvements to council houses outside of the normal repairs system. This is called the Capital Programme. These schemes can include such things as central heating, new kitchens and bathrooms, rewiring and re-roofing.

Much of the work is carried out through our Tenant’s Choice modernisation scheme.

The amount of modernisation work we can carry out each year through the Capital Programme is set by how much the government say we can borrow each year.

If the work will potentially cause you a serious health and safety risk or renders your home uninhabitable we will offer you temporary accommodation whilst it is carried out.
