Minor Works Scheme

The Minor Works Scheme (MWS) receives annual funding of £65K to enable the scheme delivery from the Butt to Barra.

At present the maximum total job value is capped at £7.5K. The grant covers the labour element of the work up to £2.5K with the client funding the material cost up to the 5K limit.

The qualifying criteria for the current MWS requires applicants to be over 60 and/or registered disabled. The household income must be less than £150 p/w excluding benefits and state pension.

The MWS was established to meet increasing demand for smaller measures which fell outside the remit of larger improvement type schemes. Funding for larger improvements are no longer available, which in turn has increased demand for the MWS. These measures include roof, chimney and rainwater goods repairs, repair and replacement of defective double glazed windows with water/wind ingress, repairs to central /water heating along with general plumbing and electrical repairs and full re-wire where required. The fitting of smoke and CO alarms is also included.

Storm Damage

Iain Macleod Project worker –
The client of this property in Aird Point contacted TIG after severe storm damage which left a large hole in the roof either side of the chimney. Due to having no house insurance the client was unable to get the damage repaired. This damage started to cause dampness internally. TIG’s project officer Iain Macleod subsequently visited the property and was able to offer assistance in carrying out the minor repairs.

I really appreciated the respect the TIG staff showed for my mother, regardless of her suffering from dementia, they spoke to her, took the time and made sure the focus was on my her rather than rushing through the forms.”

Provided great advice.

Service is brilliant, 100%

No improvement needed, excellent service

Very satisfied, timeframe for work exceeded my expectations on completion.

I appreciate that the work was done quickly, efficiently especially as I live on my own. Thank you very much.

I am satisfied with the work carried out and grateful that the ramp makes access to and from the house possible.
