Property and Building Safety Team

Our Property and Building Safety Team carries out checks on homes – called Stock Condition Surveys - to see how your home meets the Decent Homes Standard.

The survey takes around one hour, and a surveyor will check things like your:

  • Kitchen
  • Bathroom
  • Windows and doors
  • Roof and guttering
  • Heating and hot water systems
  • External areas and building structure

We’ll contact you when we’re in your area. It’s important to let us into your home to carry out the survey - this helps us plan future work and keep your home in good condition. Letting us into your home to inspect it when we ask to is a requirement of your Tenancy Agreement.

Your Project Officer

When improvement works are happening at your home, you’ll be supported by a dedicated Project Officer.

They will:

  • Visit you before work starts to explain in detail what will happen and answer any questions you may have.
  • Be available throughout the work to check on progress, ensure your home is kept clean and safe, and act as your main point of contact.
  • Organise engagement events to ensure you have a platform to ask any questions and share your views.
  • Be available at the end of your journey to ensure you’re happy and any issues can be treated as learning opportunities.
  • Consider any vulnerabilities, wellbeing and financial support; ensuring your needs are met.

Delivery Team

Our Delivery Team is responsible for making sure the works go smoothly.

This includes:

  • A site manager who will oversee the project and health and safety.
  • Our internal team of electricians, plumbers, gas engineers, plasterers, painters and more.
  • Contractors who may also be working in your home.
  • Our team members on-site, all working to improve your home while keeping disruption to a minimum.
  • Our support team to deal with any administrative queries you may have. You can contact them on 01977788238
