Repairs and maintenance - major works

Major works carried out by the council on your property

The Council will from time to time be required to carry out major works to the building in which you live.   These will be necessary repairs, renewals and in some cases improvements which we cannot do under the normal day to day repairs arrangements due to the amount of works involved.

This sort of work may include the repair or replacement of:

  • Windows
  • External doors
  • Roof works
  • Necessary refurbishment of exterior and communal areas, doors, stairs and access ways
  • Rewiring of communal areas where required
  • Lifts


Further information

For further information on Major work and improvements you can download the following leaflets from your leaseholders' handbook:

Frequently asked questions about major work (pdf)

By law we must consult with leaseholders if any works will cost you more than £250. As well as the formal consultation we aim to ensure you are involved in the following key stages:

  • When the works are first planned
  • Before the works start
  • Whilst the works are in progress
  • When the works are over

For further information about the consultation process please visit Major works consultation.
