Social housing landlords have to follow certain rules set down by the regulator of social housing. This includes meeting certain standards on repairs and maintenance.

For example, social housing landlords must have a repairs and maintenance service that responds to a tenant’s needs, offers choice, and aims to get the work done right first time.

They also have to meet all legal requirements that provide for the health and safety of residents in their homes.

At LCS we undertake various maintenance and repair work for Housing Associations in London and surroundings.

Accommodation owned by social housing landlords must meet the Decent Homes Standard. Landlords must continue to maintain homes to at least this standard. A decent home must:

• meet the current minimum standard for housing, that is, that the property must be free of Category 1 hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System
• be in a reasonable state of repair
• have reasonably modern facilities and services
• provide a reasonable degree of thermal comfort – this is about insulation and heating.
