Home Improvements

Your Own Improvements to Your Home

If you would like to make your own improvements or alterations to your home, you must inform us in writing with the details of your proposals and plans, if appropriate, together with the names of those who will carry out the work.

It may be necessary for us to visit before we can give permission for the proposed work.  You should check with your local council if you need to apply for Planning Permission or Building Regulations approval.  You are responsible for applying for these.

If you would like to discuss your plans, please call 0845 113 3000.  It is your responsibility to maintain the improvements you have completed. 

If your improvement work results in mhs homes having to pay to have it corrected because, for example, the work was sub-standard or it made the property unsuitable or unsafe, we will re-charge the cost to you.
