Lovell has been awarded £9.6 million of housing refurbishment work in Liverpool. The company is set to carry out a £6.2 million housing modernisation scheme for Liverpool Mutual Homes. It is also undertaking a £3.4 million housing modernisation programme in Liverpool for Cobalt Housing.

Lovell will install new bathrooms and kitchens at 1,000 homes in the Dingle, Hunts Cross and Halewood areas of Liverpool for housing association Liverpool Mutual Homes. The work is part of a £400 million housing improvement programme by Liverpool Mutual Homes which manages over 15,000 homes in the city. Lovell resident liaison officers will work closely with residents - who are remaining in their homes while the improvement work takes place - to ensure that work goes ahead smoothly. The modernisation scheme is expected to be complete in April 2010.
