Timeline and order of works
When will my property be refurbished?
Our internal refurbishment programme launched in 2020 and we are aiming to scale up in Spring 2021. Major block works such as windows, heating and hot water and door entry systems are also due to commence in 2021. These works are part of the external refurbishment programme.

I see properties on the estate being refurbished already. Can mine be done now?
Our new in-house refurbishment team has been working on properties as they become empty. Some of these refurbished flats have been used to host Open House events. These homes are then let under the Local Lettings Plan, which in a points-based system giving priority to residents on the estate at the time of the tragedy. In addition, our in-house refurbishment team have replaced kitchens in 14% of homes and bathrooms in 15% of homes. We commenced a pilot programme of in-situ refurbishments in late 2020 this year and intend to scale up these works to the wider estate, subject to the impact of the pandemic.
Will the blocks be refurbished one at a time?
It is highly unlikely that all properties in one block will be carried out at the same time. Once the detailed design phase is complete, we will be able to start prioritising the order of works to keep disruption and cost to a minimum, and agree the timing of internal works with you at a household level.
