Make improvements to your home
If you've made a payment since Friday 12 December it may not show up correctly on your account on the Portal or the balance check by text.
Please bear with us while we fix this technical issue, and contact us by email if you need an accurate statement of your account:
- rent: lh-rent@lewisham.gov.uk
- temporary accommodation rent: TAincome@lewisham.gov.uk
- service charges: hos@lewisham.gov.uk
You must contact us about your planned alterations and we might need to visit your home to talk over your request in detail.
Tenants can apply online for permission to make improvements to your home.
If you're a leaseholder and you want to make some alterations or improvements to your home, please contact our leasehold service.
If you make improvements without our permission, you could break the terms of your tenancy agreement or lease.
You're responsible for applying for planning permission and building regulation approval if they're required.
