Housing disrepair works in the South West
When a disrepair case in the South West reaches the works stage, the quality of your evidence matters as much as the repair. We provide both.
We take on housing disrepair works for social landlords across the South West: housing associations, councils, ALMOs and supported housing providers in all 27 council areas, to the rules that apply in England.

Which rules apply in the South West?
In England, housing conditions claims follow the Pre-Action Protocol for Housing Conditions Claims: the landlord responds to a letter of claim within 20 working days with a schedule of works, and any expert inspection follows within 20 working days of that response. The Housing Ombudsman's Complaint Handling Code has been statutory since April 2024.
What does it cost in the South West?
Our guide range for a disrepair schedule of works in the South West is £1,550–£8,150 per case. That is the UK range of £1,500–£8,000 (our estimate) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 1.02 (our own estimate); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
How do we deliver it?
Where the schedule treats a symptom, such as mould on a wall, we point out the likely cause and price the fix separately, so you can decide whether to deal with it now.
