Void refurbishment, planned maintenance and community-space fit-outs for councils and housing associations across Southwark and Lewisham.

Our approach

Public housing deserves the same standard of finish as private work. We bring a design studio's eye to void turnarounds and refurbishment programmes, on the paperwork and timescales procurement teams need.

Fixed-price schedules of rates and weekly photo reporting. We are set up for frameworks and happy to be tested on a pilot batch of voids.

How a contract project runs

Call, then survey

Twenty minutes on the phone about the house and the budget. If it's a fit, we come and measure, listen and price properly.

Week 0

Design

Plan, elevations and a materials board. We iterate until it feels right, then fix the price.

Weeks 1–4

Build

One crew, one foreman, weekly photo updates. Plumbing and electrics done in-house.

Per programme

Aftercare

A snagging visit at six weeks, and we come back for anything on the list.
