Planned Maintenance

The Scottish Government previously confirmed that all associations in Scotland must meet the new standard for fire safety. Details can be found using the link below:

Scottish Government Fire Safety Standard

The Association is fully compliant with the standard.

Planned Maintenance Programme 2025-2026

Kitchen replacements for 22 - 44 Garlieston Road (even numbers) have been completed by our contractor MCN (Scotland) Ltd. We are pleased to carry out this upgrade!

Front door replacements for the main door flats at 4 - 32 Pendeen Place (even numbers) have been completed by our contractor MSi (Scotland) Ltd. We are pleased to carry out this upgrade which will help keep our homes energy efficient!

Stock Condition Survey Update

A stock condition survey has been carried out by Brown and Wallace in 2024. The survey results confirmed that 100% of Gardeen's stock complies with the Scottish Housing Quality Standard and the Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing. The next stock condition survey is programmed for 2027. If you have any questions about the above, please contact Lyndsay at the office.

Energy Performance Certificates

The Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing (EESSH) aims to improve the energy efficiency of social housing in Scotland. The Association's contractor will be carrying out surveys at a few Gardeen homes during 2025 to collect data for Energy Performance Certificates. An Energy Performance Certificate gives information on how energy efficient a building is. This forms part of the Association's evidence for the EESSH. Scottish Government guidance on the Social Housing Net Zero Standard is awaited.

Energy Database

We worked with an independent company, Alembic Research, to develop an energy database to help us plan for energy changes in the future. We update this at regular intervals.
