Overview

If you're moving into a new home or have had Decent Homes work carried out, we will sometimes give you a payment to help you with the cost of decorating your home.

We do not issue cash or cheques as payment. Instead, we will give you a Groundworks voucher.


What you can buy with the card

The voucher can be used to buy the following items:

  • interior paints
  • decorating utensils
  • sandpaper
  • fillers

When you will get your voucher

You will be given your Groundworks voucher when you sign-up at your local housing office.


How much you will get

Your payment will depend on the size of the works, with a maximum of £100 per home allowed.

If you have rent arrears of more than £500, we will credit your rent account with the value of your payment.

If we do this we will let you know.


Using your card

You will have 1 week to spend your voucher. This is from date of issue.


Lost or stolen cards

If your card is lost or stolen, please contact the allocations department on 03001236633 as soon as possible.
