Lovell has been selected by Homes for Islington (HFI) as a contractor partner for its £10.5 million Street Properties Decent Homes Framework.
Work will include the refurbishment and replacement of kitchens and bathrooms, along with external improvements. “We will be working closely with Homes for Islington as we help to deliver this important housing refurbishment programme which is set to bring about major improvements for many residents,” says Lovell regional director Steve Coombs. Eamon McGoldrick, HFI chief executive, says: “Homes for Islington is moving towards completion of its Decent Homes Programme and this partnership with Lovell will help us achieve this target. We look forward to working together on this project.” Lovell specialises in delivering large-scale housing refurbishment schemes and refurbishes 20,000 homes across the UK annually. The company was the first housing refurbishment specialist to gain the TPAS (Tenant Participation Advisory Service) quality mark for contractors – which is an independent guarantee of excellence in resident engagement – on a national basis. The award recognises best practice by the company in the way it involves residents during major housing improvement programmes. |
The company is one of three firms to have been appointed to carry out the major housing refurbishment scheme which will see around 700 properties in the London Borough of Islington upgraded by the end of this year.
