Rydon Maintenance has won a £20 million refurbishment scheme at the Ashmole Estate, London.

The Ashmole Estate is adjacent to the Oval Cricket ground in South London, on the opposite site of the ground to the refurbishment works Rydon did at Kennington Park and the Bridge Estates in 2008.

This is the largest refurbishment contract Rydon has won since the Camden PFI scheme in 2004 and brings Rydon right back in competition with other large refurbishment contractors.


The work at the Ashmole Estate is made up of Decent Homes plus work to over 600 homes and includes; new kitchens, bathrooms, windows and a centralised boiler house and distribution replacement.

The contract will run over 2 phases for the next 3 years and is due to start on site in September 2011.

Steve Blake Refurbishment Director said: "In the current economic climate securing this contract against fierce competition is a major boost for the business and will provide an excellent workstream over the next three years."
