Kitchen and Bathroom Replacement Programme 2023-26

The Council are about to embark on a 3-year Housing Capital Programme. As such the Council are looking to procure a two-year programme for Kitchen & Bathroom renewals with an option to extend for a further year.

The aim of the Kitchens & Bathrooms Refurbishments is to bring homes with kitchens or bathrooms that are over 20 or 25 years old respectively up to and surpassing the Decent Homes Standard which us currently 25 & 30-year cycles respectively.

As the Council has prioritised Compliance works, we are now in a downcycle of Decent Homes investment for key elements of disrepair. In order to rectify this, much more investment is required for Decent Homes elements including Kitchens and Bathrooms.

The kitchen upgrade will be using Symphony kitchens, who we have been in a successful partnership for over 10 years through the LHC Framework. They provide one of the highest specifications which include options such as larder units to residents. They also take part in resident consultation open days where resident can come and pre-select their kitchen choices & colours and book their surveys.

As they are all tenanted properties none of the properties on these programmes are subject to Section 20 of Landlord & Tenant Act 1985 (as amended) processes.
