Every year we carry out a programme of planned maintenance to ensure that homes are well maintained and comfortable to live in. We give the major components of each home a predicted life which we use to estimate when these components will next need replaced. This helps us develop future programmes of work.
Our current lifecycles are shown below:
| File Description | File | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Asset Management Strategy |  | 2MB |
| Planned and Cyclical Maintenance Policy | | 503KB |
| Component | Predicted life |
| Kitchen | 20 years |
| Bathroom | 30 years |
| Boilers & Controls | 15 years or beyond repair |
| Radiators | 30 years |
| Windows | 35-45 years depending on type |
| Communal decoration | 7 years |
When finalising our budgets each year we will need to make decisions on which works to progress and which can be deferred. This ensures that we use available funds on the highest priority work. We will always prioritise:
- Tenant safety work such as gas & electrical safety inspections, smoke detection, fire safety work and any other inspections required by law
- Structural work
- Work to keep properties wind and watertight
- Work to help properties meet the Scottish Housing Quality Standard
We have shown below the work that is planned for the current financial year.
