External and Internal redecorations

External Redecorations

Each scheme will be externally assessed every five years to see if it needs to be included in the next external redecoration programme. This assessment is undertaken between December and January for the following year’s programme that starts in April.

All properties that are due to be externally decorated in the following year’s programme will be written to in March/April time advising you of the anticipated start date.

In order to carry out this work, most schemes will require scaffolding to allow safe working platforms to all areas of the property. We will also use this opportunity to carry out any external repairs necessary to the roof and structure of the building as well as the redecoration to the windows, fascia, soffits and doors etc.

If the external decorations are in a reasonable condition and no urgent repairs are necessary, the external painting may be deferred until the following year.

If you have any questions regarding external decorations you can contact us on 0800 980 9008.

Internal Redecorations

Each scheme will be internally assessed every seven years to see if it needs to be included in the next internal redecoration programme. This assessment is undertaken between December and January for the following year’s programme that starts in October.

All properties that are due to be internally decorated in the following year’s programme will be written to in August advising you of the anticipated start date.

If the internal decorations are in a reasonable condition and no urgent repairs are necessary, the internal painting may be deferred until the following year.

If you have any questions about internal decorations you can contact us on 0800 980 9008.
