Help for owner occupiers

 
If you are a home owner living on a low income, you might be able to get help with the cost of repairs or home improvements. Please contact us, using the details on the right, to find out more. 

Grants are available to people on means tested benefits or qualifying tax credits for central heating repairs or installation and home insulation via our Coldbusters scheme.

Help for the elderly and vulnerable

If you are an older person, disabled person or have a young family and are living on a means tested benefit or tax credit,we can:

  • carry out a fire safety check of your home
  • give you advice about how to reduce the chance of an accidental fire
  • install smoke detectors where appropriate.
We can also inspect your home to check if it meets the 'decent homes' standard. If it does not, we can advise you how your home needs to be repaired or improved to meet the standard.
