Disturbance allowance
If there is any damage to the decoration of
your council home following a repair, you can request a decoration
grant.
The maximum grant you can receive has been
calculated as a total amount for each individual room - these are
listed below. However, if it is only a small area that requires
redecoration, a surveyor will visit the property and advise on the
amount of grant that will be issued to cover your costs:
- Living room: £40.00
- Dining room/Living room: £30.00
- Bedroom 1: £35.00
- Bedroom 2 and 3: £25.00
- Hall: £28.00
- Hall, stairs and landing: £42.00
- Bathroom: £25.00
- Separate WC: £15.00
- Kitchen: £28.00
If you feel that you qualify for a grant or
would like further advice, please contact the Repairs Call
Centre.
