The report updates the Housing Committee on the programme to replace 1,980 non-compliant Manse Masterdor doors across council homes. It recommends that the council pays for replacement doors at leasehold properties rather than recharging leaseholders, with consultation and work on the 92 affected leasehold properties planned from April 2023.

Recommendation

That the Housing Committee note progress on replacing non-compliant Manse Masterdor front entrance doors and frames, and approve the recommended approach of carrying out replacement at leasehold properties at cost to the Council without charging leaseholders.

Financial impact

The estimated cost of replacing Manse Masterdors is £2.97m over three financial years, including an estimated £0.177m for 92 leasehold properties. The 2022/23 replacement programme budget is £1.20m.
