Housing Management - Repairs Recharge Policy

Opens 27 Jan 2025

Closes 9 Mar 2025

Overview

Housing Management’s previous Repairs Recharge Policy was published in February 2020 and the Council is reviewing the policy to include some changes to the service. The policy aims to provide a fair and transparent framework in which the cost of work for which the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s Housing Management Services is not responsible is paid by the appropriate person or organisation. This ensures that these expenses do not unnecessarily deplete resources that could otherwise be used to provide services to the broader tenant community.

Sometimes repairs are required due to damage or changes made to properties by tenants. If we need to rectify tenant damage or changes, we will “recharge” the tenant or leaseholder responsible. Repairs may also be needed due to the action of others (for example, police forced entries) and cases where we must correct poor work carried out by the tenant or their representative.
