Decent Homes
The Decent Homes programme is a £300 million project aimed at bringing all local council
housing up to the government's Decent Homes Standard.
This means all homes must be warm, weatherproof, in sound structural repair and have a reasonably modern kitchen and bathroom.
A Decent Home is one that:
- Meets the current minimum legal standard for housing
- Is in a reasonable state of repair
- Has reasonably modern facilities, i.e. kitchen and bathroom
- Has heating and insulation.

Important news on the Decent Homes work
The 2009/10 programme of Decent Homes works started in June 2009.
Over the next 12 months we’ll be spending £33million to bring over 1,400 more homes in Ealing up to the government’s ‘decent’ standard. Typical works that our contractors will be carrying out around the borough include window and roof repairs and renewals, plus some kitchens and bathrooms.
Keep an eye on the website for up to date news and information on the programme.
