Wates Living Space has scooped three projects, collectively valued at around £33 million, on behalf of Brent Council, St Mungo's and mhs homes.

The projects include the refurbishment of four high rise blocks on behalf of Brent Council, as part of a new major works programme that includes external wall insulation, heating and lift refurbishments.

Work for Brent also includes retrofit installations to increase home efficiency following Wates’ successful retrofit pilot on behalf of Brent Council, which reached completion at the end of 2021.

The project saw the Wates Retrofit team install energy efficiency measures in void properties, taking them from an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of E to B, exceeding the Government’s 2030 target for social housing.


Also included in Wates Living Space's new contacts is a six-month programme to install new kitchens and bathrooms in properties across North London on behalf of St Mungo's.

The team is also preparing to mobilise a two-year contract to install new kitchens and bathrooms for mhs homes properties in North Kent.

The new projects add to Wates Living Space’s current portfolio, which includes repairs and maintenance for 500,000 homes on behalf of 60 social landlords.

James Gregg, Managing Director of South Planned Maintenance at Wates Living Space, commented: "We are very proud to be growing our portfolio in the south and look forward to working with our clients to provide safe, secure, comfortable and efficient homes. These contracts represent a combination of new partnerships with St Mungo’s and mhs to existing partners like Brent Council where our team can showcase their capabilities to deliver at scale. Our customers have to balance many different aspects to property management, and this balance is reliant on maintenance providers that have the capacity and expertise to deliver services efficiently and to a high quality."
