Works will enable installation of solar panels and increase longevity of blocks
United Living has won a £5m contract to regenerate four 1970s housing blocks in east London.
The group’s subsidiary, United Living Property Services, secured the major works programme for Ray Lodge Estate in the London Borough of Redbridge.
Works within the estate in Woodford Green will include changing the pitched roofs to flat roofs, which will enable easier maintenance and the installation of PV solar panels to increase sustainability.
Further works to enhance the longevity and comfort of the property will include window replacement, balcony works, and asbestos removal.
The three-storey blocks consist of 182 flats and the programme will be the first major works to the fabric of the building in the last 20 years.
John Farrell, managing director, United Living Property Services, said: “We are delighted to secure this contract to regenerate these properties for the London Borough of Redbridge which will help revitalise these homes for the residents of the Ray Lodge Estate in Woodford Green.

“The United Living team looks forward to collaborating with the Borough and the community to deliver long-lasting benefits for all.”
