Modernisation and Improvement Programme

Cestria Community Housing is doing a major programme of improvement and repair to bring all homes up to a decent, modern standard. This was the promise the Council made to tenants when you voted for transfer. We want all our homes to be comfortable and warm with modern kitchens and bathrooms.

In many homes we will need to do works to the doors and windows, electrics and heating systems, kitchens and bathrooms in order to bring the property up to standard we know tenants want.

We know it will take us around five years to get all our homes up to standard. In the first 2 years we are going to do new doors and windows in over 3,000 homes and new heating systems in over 1,000 homes. The heating programme will continue to 2012 by which time we will have fitted new heating systems to over 2,300 homes.

In 2009 we will start with our internal improvement programme. In the following 3 years we expect to improve over 1100 kitchens and bathrooms. Once these are done we will move onto boundary improvements such as new walls and gates and estate improvements such as off street car parking.

The First 2 Years

We promised a major programme of door and window replacement in the first 2 years. We also know that we have many houses that require new or improved heating systems.

We have let contracts for this work and if you want to check if we are doing work in your estate or street please contact us.
