Clear costs and dependable programmes

We deliver refurbishment and fit-outs for both occupied and vacant properties across the UK. Our experienced teams offer full-service programmes including kitchens and bathrooms, whole‑house refurbishments, windows and doors, roofing, mechanical and electrical upgrades, and accessibility aids and adaptations. Projects are scheduled to minimise disruption to residents and management teams, with phased delivery and regular communication.

  • Resident safety and welfare are at the heart of our approach. Our on-site teams are trained and vetted, and comprehensive safeguarding procedures are in place on all projects. Site access is tightly controlled and coordinated with housing officers and scheme managers as appropriate. Compliance with building regulations and housing standards is built into every programme as standard, with stringent quality checks and detailed information transfer at project handover.

  • For multi‑year frameworks, we can provide scheduled reporting on KPIs and cost control. We work closely with procurement teams to specify materials, furnishings and fixtures that prioritise durability, ease of maintenance and value for money.

FAQ’s

  • Yes, although it depends on the level of refurbishment or refit required. In the majority of cases, we’re able to carry out the necessary work in full, or at least in part, while the property is still occupied. We coordinate our schedule with residents and building or estate managers to agree on quiet hours and plan safe access during the time that our contractors are on site.

  • The scope of each project can vary widely, depending on the condition of the housing stock and the requirements to be met. As an example, typical requirements include fit-out or refurbishment of kitchens and bathrooms, replacing or repairing internal flooring, doors and staircases, and upgrading MEP services.

  • We take our responsibilities seriously when it comes to site safety and regulatory compliance. Each project is planned according to current building regulations and meets local authority housing standards. Our team includes certified engineers who manage the installation of services such as gas, electrical and water supplies, as well as fire safety systems. Once the works are complete, your dedicated project manager will supply all safety certificates and documentation.

  • Yes. We’re experienced in resourcing and managing large-scale refurbishment or fit-out programmes with regional teams, standardised specifications and robust logistics, allowing local authorities and ALMOs to benefit from economies of scale. We provide dedicated project management and liaison points to report on progress, KPIs and costs at agreed intervals.

  • To ensure the accessibility of social housing for all tenants, we provide a range of adaptations to flats and houses. We can liaise with occupational therapy teams to specify and install practical solutions, including ramped access, door widening, handrails, non‑slip finishes, stairlifts, or accessible bathrooms to support independent living.
