A Yorkshire city council has appointed Urban Group (York) to carry out repairs and upgrades to its social housing stock worth £15m.
The contract with City of York Council calls on the Dunnington-based company to deliver home repairs and upgrades, including energy retrofitting improvements, across the authority’s portfolio.
Urban’s Maintenance & Energy team was appointed following a competitive tender. It will cover around 3,500 of the council’s properties across the city.
The five-year contract covers home improvements and repairs, extensive damp works. and an energy retrofitting programme to make the homes greener and more energy efficient for the residents.
Andrew Green, Urban Group’s commercial director, said: “We are delighted to be working with City of York Council on this important programme of works that will upgrade thousands of homes, making them warmer and more energy efficient, which is obviously very good news for the tenants.
“We were able to demonstrate a proven track record in the social housing sector across the North and, with our headquarters also based in York, our team has an excellent understanding and knowledge of the city which means we can hit the ground running.”
