Are tenants legally obliged to allow work on house by landlord?

[PomBearWithoutHerOFRS]

I know it's an odd question, but is a tenant legally obliged to allow the landlord to carry out work?
For example, fit a new kitchen or windows? Assuming the existing ones are fit for purpose, so work isn't urgent, and tenant hasn't asked for it. Can landlord just say tenants must allow surveys and workers in on a date set by the landlord/contractor
Do tenants have a right to decline?

England. Our council have a discretionary fund for things like helping give incentives to tenants for work to be done when usual avenues have been exhausted (e.g., tenant can't afford to take time off work for gas safety check, rather than drag it through court the council might offer a discretionary payment to cover the lost earnings so that tenant can take the time off and the safety check can be done).

I think Swansea council(?) have done similar too as part of their housing stock regeneration projects where they've paid compensation to tenants to encourage them to allow the work, again from funds specifically set aside for these issues.

I cancelled British Gas a couple of years ago, they've been bad for ages.
But I can cancel and spend my money with a local bloke with a reputation to consider.
Unlike a tenant.
