Decorating service for older tenants

Older council tenants may be eligible for our internal decoration service. We will decorate one room in the home, using either paint or wallpaper. The service is free of charge.

To be eligible:
• The property must be part of a sheltered housing scheme, designated older person’s accommodation, or a one bedroom flat
• All the tenants in the property must be senior citizens and/or they must be receiving disability benefits
• No internal redecoration will have been carried out in the property by the Council in the previous five years.
• The tenant must have a clear rent account

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.
