Our customers say:
"I recently had work completed for tiling in my kitchen, and a light fitted in my hallway. The trades people were excellent and I am extremely grateful for the service from start to finish. I would definitely use the scheme again."
"My grandma is a private customer and recently had some garden maintenance work carried out to the property. She rang me to compliment the workers. She has been so impressed with the gardening works which have been completed for her and said all of the staff were so polite and friendly."
"Could I please make an official compliment for all the team involved in the work I have recently had completed. The surveyor was on time for the appointment which I made today to see him during my lunch hour at home. They were promptly back in touch to give me the quote. Excellent service! First class!"
"Please convey our gratitude to the departments connected to our fence, outside taps and doors replacement. We are extremely pleased with the completed work and the professionalism of all the staff involved - thank you."
Getting permission to change your council house
If you are a secure tenant you have the right to improve your home as long as you get written permission from us first. If you are an introductory tenant your rights are restricted. A written request may either be in a letter format or by email.
Once we have your request will write to you within 28 days with our decision. A home visit may be necessary to discuss your request in detail.
If permission is not granted, the reasons for this will be explained in the decision letter. If you do have rent arrears, permission may be refused.
You must not start work until we have given written permission and all work must be carried out by a competent person. Gas fittings must be carried out by an installer who is Gas Safe Registered (formerly CORGI). Electrical work must be carried out by registered NICEIC installers.
