Liaising with residents from all backgrounds requires sensitivity and expert communication, and careful planning is essential to ensure minimal disruption in tenants’ homes. In social housing, landlords are responsible for large volumes of property where budgets are tight, so cost control and certainty are key. Works carried out under the Decent Homes programme, such as kitchen and bathroom replacements, demand clear communication and planning between the client, contractor, and tenant, while the fact that work often takes place in the homes of vulnerable people makes pre-booking and precise scheduling vital.
