Sometimes it’s hard to know who should fix things in your home. Is it something you can do yourself, or should South Liverpool Homes (SLH) do it?
To help you out, we’ve made a simple guide. It shows what jobs SLH will do, and what jobs you need to do yourself.
Some jobs are up to you
We get a lot of requests from tenants to add features to their home. These include:
- Putting grass down in your garden.
- Building a driveway for your car (make sure you get permission from us and the council first).
- Putting in new kitchen appliances (e.g. washing machines or dishwashers).
- Adding an outside tap.
These are DIY jobs that you need to do, or arrange, yourself. It’s also important to ask us for permission before you get any major work done, such as driveways.
Some jobs are for us
There are lots of jobs that we will take care of. Here are four examples:
- Leaking sinks, baths, showers and toilets.
- Blocked drains and gullies.
- Broken or unsafe electrical fittings.
- Fences and gates that are unsafe.
These are all jobs that need doing to keep your home safe and in good condition.
