Our teams: Facilities and Development

Our facilities and development teams maintain and improve our properties - and deliver new homes and communities - to help us provide the warm, dry and safe homes that are the foundation for sustainable tenancies.

Maintenance

We want our properties to be well-maintained and meet tenant needs. We do this by quickly responding to urgent work, having a great maintenance programme, and regularly visiting homes to check they’re okay. We have experienced handypeople and we also have trusted contractors who get their work done quickly and to a high standard.

Renovations and renewals

We want our homes to be the best they can be, so we take a whole-of-life approach to their maintenance. We regularly assess our homes for everything from weathertightness to structural integrity, and we improve and renew them to ensure they can provide warm and safe homes for tenants for as long as their operational life allows.
