Capital Works
CAPITAL WORKS
KEEPING ROTHERHAM HOMES SAFE, COMFORTABLE, AND WELL-MAINTAINED
Capital Works are decided based on several factors, including the age and condition of the property following a survey, regulatory requirements, and feedback from residents.
In the 2025/2026 financial year, the Council is planning to invest over £20 million into Capital Works across Rotherham, ensuring homes are maintained to a high standard. Our delivery partners, Mears and Equans, along with their subcontractors, will carry out these works on our behalf.
