Looking after your home

3. Looking after your home

How we performed against our service standards.

 

Our service standards say we’ll always…

  • Fix things properly, on time and make sure the appointment works for both of us.
  • Make sure your home is safe and secure the day you move in.
  • Provide more homes to people waiting on the council register and more homes that people can buy through the shared ownership scheme.

Change the standard for our empty homes. Following your feedback, we now fit carpets, blinds, recycling bins and water saving kits, and we’ve upgraded to a sparkle clean.

We spent:

  • £2.2m on planned maintenance & servicing
  • £4.8m on improving homes
  • £5.1m fixing repairs

Although we have plans to improve this, our homes are scoring well for energy efficiency:

  • SILVER = our sustainability score (SHIFT)
  • 85.4% homes have EPC rated C or above
  • TOP SAP ratings compared to 40 other landlords*

*SAP ratings are the energy efficiency scores for our homes – so the cost per m2 of heating, hot water, lighting, pumps and fans.
