Decorating service for older tenants
If you are a council tenant, and you need help with decorating, you may be able to get help through the Council's internal decorations service.
Normally all internal decorating is the responsibility of council tenants, but we will decorate one room free of charge for certain people.
To apply for this service you must meet all these conditions:
- The Council has not carried out any internal redecoration in your property in the past five years.
- All the tenants in your property are senior citizens or they receive benefits because they have disabilities.
- You have a clear rent account.
- Your property is no larger than two bedroom accommodation.
You can choose the room you want to have decorated, and the colour of the paint. If you would like wallpaper we have a range for you to choose from.
We may be able to decorate a room, even if the tenant does not meet all the above conditions, but we will charge for the full cost for the work. The internal decoration service is dealt with by the Housing Assets Section.
