Our major works team carry out improvements boroughwide, managing anything from 10 to 30 refurbishment projects at any one time.
Most recently, the team has completed much-need improvements at Pond House, one of our estates in Chelsea where we’ve invested more than £4 million in major improvements to the estate since work began in July 2023.
Councillor Sof McVeigh, Lead Member for Housing joined the team to have a look at the finished work. Take a look at the video below to see how they got on!
The refurbishment work included:
- New roofs which provide better protection against the weather and improved thermal efficiency.
- New double-glazed windows designed to complement the building style while offering better insulation, reduced noise levels and improved security.
- New main entrance doors which make it easier and more secure for residents to enter and exit the building.
- Revamped communal areas with fresh paintwork and new flooring to provide a brighter, more welcoming environment.
- A full refurbishment of the caretaker's lodge – much to the delight of the hard-working caretaker.
- As part of their social value commitments our contractors DR Jones refreshed the paintwork and replaced the flooring in the much-loved community centre making it a bright, vibrant space for residents to enjoy.
