In addition to carrying out routine repairs when reported, we also have a planned maintenance programme. This is to make sure that our properties are kept in good condition over a period of time. For example, at some future point, kitchens or heating or other components of our buildings
will need replaced. Other items such as corridor painting or maintaining or upgrading door entry systems are included in the programme. This planned Maintenance is costed for every Langstane scheme over a 30 year period.

Major Repairs Program – 2013/14

In line with
our policy to maintain and, where possible, improve our housing stock it is our
intention to carry out an extensive program of major repairs and cyclical
maintenance throughout the year. The Major Repairs Budget for the year is in
excess of £1.5 million and we have looked long and hard at where best to spend
the money.

We have now
finalised a list of schemes where we will be carrying out work sometime before
April 2014. If your tenancy is one of those listed we will be contacting you
with further details as soon as we have them. Some of the works have already
started and as always we appreciate your co-operation while the contractors are
on site.
