Decent Homes
The Communities and Local Government's aim
To bring all social housing into decent condition, with most of
the improvement taking place in deprived areas, and to increase the
proportion of private housing in decent condition occupied by
vulnerable groups.
Since 2001 the number of non-decent homes in the social housing
sector has been reduced by over 50 per cent. Communities and Local
Government is determined to build on this success to improve the
living conditions of social tenants across the country.
A decent home should be warm, weatherproof and have
reasonably modern facilities.
How Ian Williams helps to meet the standard
Meeting current statutory minimum standard for
housing
The organisation ensures that all work complies with curent
legislation and identifies, whilst providing maintenance services,
where standards are not complied with. We work closely with our
clients to plan investment programmes such that compliance
investment is considered as part of overall investment
planning.
Homes in a reasonable state of repair
We provide planned and response maintenance services that ensure
homes are well maintained. Working closely with our clients
to reduce unplanned maintenance (reactive repairs) we are able
to enhance the value provided by maintenance teams, taking
a whole life cost approach.
Providing modern facilities and services
Ian Williams is able to deliver a complete range of renewal and
refurbishment services in the housing sector. This includes all
works necessary to ensure a home complies with the standard.
The organisation is one of the UK's leading installers of
kitchens and bathrooms. We have supply chain agreements with the
leading manufacturers and install all products using our directly
employed teams.
Providing a reasonable degree of thermal comfort
Ian Wlliams is Corgi and NICEIC registered and able to undertake
all heating and insulation projects.
