Maintaining our housing stock

Our goal is to effectively maintain and improve our housing stock and local environment, ensuring that our homes meet and exceed the Government's Decent Homes standard.

Ongoing home improvements

We have a continuous program of maintenance and energy improvements to help achieve this goal:

Home Modernisation Programme

We offer various improvement packages, including complete kitchen refits, bathroom upgrades, and additional sockets or security measures. Tenants can choose from several options to suit their needs.

Affordable Warmth Programme

This initiative aims to improve energy efficiency in council homes by reducing heat loss through better insulation. It includes installing efficient central heating systems, cavity wall insulation, and loft insulation.

WIRES Scheme

Each year, we rewire a number of properties across Ipswich, updating electrical wiring in both individual homes and communal areas of flats to modern standards.
