Planned Maintenance

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:

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.
