Eight kitchens, six bathrooms, four rewires, a new roof and more.
Cornwall's Coastline Housing spends almost £150,000 every week on improving and repairing its customers' homes, according to a new report.
The review details thousands of pre-planned maintenance jobs carried out in the social landlord's 3,500 properties between April 2006 and March 2007, as it stays ahead of the Government's "Decent Homes Standard" target.
Over the year, Coastline spent some £7.5 million on the works - an average of over £2,100 per home - fitting enough double glazing to cover half the pitch at the new Wembley stadium, and using enough electrical wire to span the famous arch eight times over.
Coastline Services tradespeople, working with external contractors, completed over two acres of internal and external tiling, using 100,000 wall tiles and 40,000 roof slates.
Senior Building Surveyor Mark Reed explains: "These jobs are just part of Coastline's ongoing work to make sure its homes are great places to live, and come up to the high standards our customers have every right to expect.
"We maintain thousands of properties, throughout the Kerrier district and beyond, so naturally it takes a great deal of planning, a huge financial commitment and sustained hard work throughout the year to ensure our customers' homes don't just stay in good repair, but actually improve year-on-year wherever possible."
According to the review, an average week sees Coastline complete:
. Eight new, fitted kitchens
. Six new bathrooms
. One re-roofing
. Four electrical rewires
. Three new central heating systems, and
. Twenty other home improvement jobs
Mark Reed adds: "The programme is carefully planned in advance to give the best possible value for money, and minimise disruption for customers - such as combining kitchen and bathroom improvements where we can - as well as giving priority to the people in greatest need.
"That makes it especially pleasing for us that last year 97.9% of our customers expressed satisfaction with the work we'd carried out."
