Healthy Homes programme

We will get in contact with you and make an appointment to do a full survey of your home.

Our technical officers will look at identifying any risk to you, but will focus on making sure you are free from damp and mould.

Whilst there, they will also identify other repairs and arrange to have these fixed.

This will reduce the number of calls you need to make and will deliver our repairs more efficiently, reducing appointments.

Ultimately, we wish to make our repairs service more convenient for you.

As a responsible landlord, it is our job to keep you safe in your homes. To do this, we need to know what risks exist.

Please help us to keep you safe by allowing us access to your homes. If you need to cancel an appointment, please let us know so we can rearrange it.

We will be targeting all homes in the North West considered to be at the highest risk of developing damp and mould. It will affect existing tenants only, as all void properties are given a full survey and ‘Property MOT’ before new tenants move in.

We will initially target properties we have not heard from, where gas is capped at the meter or where we have previously identified high-risk issues. The remainder will be targeted methodically. If tenants are experiencing issues in their homes that they cannot manage, such as damp and mould, please contact us so we can move you forward in the programme.

Yes. Once one of our team has contacted you to make an appointment, please feel free to list any repairs you have not reported. Your technical officer will be more than happy to add them to the schedule of work they create. If you have a repair and have not heard from our team yet, please contact our Customer Service Team to arrange a repair through the normal process.

Depending on what we find, we may need to carry out repairs immediately or schedule them with our repairs team. 

You will receive a follow up document explaining the repairs that have been listed and a scheduled date for the works to be completed.

We have recently become aware of several disrepair claims management companies who are cold calling at our tenants’ homes and misrepresenting themselves as employees of Progress Housing Group.
