Estate inspections

What are estate inspections?

Estate inspections play a fundamentally important part of the work that we do.  We want our estates to be clean and tidy, and we want you to be proud of your home and the area you live in.

Estate inspections are important because they provide the opportunity for Housing Officers to:

• be approached informally by residents and invite them to join the inspection if they want;
• identify, with residents, any problems on the estate and talk about the options for dealing with them;
• look for any improvements that can be made; and
• work with other partners in the area, such as the police, local councillors, or repairs contractors.

When we inspect our estates

Each of our estates is formally inspected twice a year.  We advertise the dates of these and encourage residents to join us.

The dates for our formal inspections are listed below.  If you would like to be involved, you can either:

• telephone us on 01227 862142
• email us at housing.services@canterbury.gov.uk

Your Housing Officer will then contact you.

Don't worry if you can't get involved in an inspection in person - email us or phone us to give us your comments and suggestions, and your Housing Officer will deal with them as part of their inspection of your estate.  They will then contact you to let you know what they are doing about it. You can find out who your Housing Officer is on your local 'Contact Us' page.
