Refurbishment

Works included new flooring, lighting, ceiling replacements, external redecoration, and roof upgrades, creating a premium finish inside and out. Flat entrance doors were replaced to complement the refresh, while new fire alarm, warden call, and TV aerial systems were installed. Safety measures were also addressed with asbestos removal and 98 new fire doors. A notable enhancement was the replacement of the front leadwork, approved by the listed buildings officer, further elevating the building’s appearance.

What we did

The project has given the scheme a fresh identity, with modern, high-end spaces that are almost unrecognisable from before.

Strict safety protocols were implemented during asbestos removal, with air quality testing before residents could re-enter their homes. Regular communication and considerate scheduling helped reduce disruption in this live environment. Residents were engaged through regular updates, fish and chip lunches, games, and entertainment to ease inconvenience. To further enhance their experience, a TV was provided in the communal lounge and a summer house was installed in the communal garden for residents to enjoy.

Innovations, challenges, solutions

The refurbishment was completed in carefully phased stages, focusing on 3–4 flats at a time to maintain safety and access for residents.
