Work is underway to refurbish two Hartlepool assisted living schemes after Esh Construction was appointed as contractor by housing provider, Thirteen.
Bramley Court and Richard Court will benefit from a range of internal and external improvements as part of a combined £4.3 million investment through Thirteen’s Capital Delivery Framework.
Marking the largest award for Esh to date through the framework, Bramley Court – a 46-home sheltered housing development - will undergo full mechanical and electrical refurbishment. This includes major heating upgrades as well as work to improve the lighting and warden call, access controls and CCTV. Extensive internal decoration will be undertaken as well as upgrades to windows and doors.
Similar refurbishment work will be delivered in Richard Court which is a 48-home extra care development located in the town centre area of Hartlepool. Communal areas are benefiting from electrical and mechanical improvements, including the replacement of warden call and fire safety equipment, lighting and CCTV to the main complex. The apartments have benefited from improved ventilation and smoke detection systems. The communal areas will be fully redecorated with colour schemes chosen by the residents.
Esh Construction's Framework Manager, Andrew Harrow, said: "The work at Bramley Court and Richard Court takes our recently awarded contracts to a total of £8.3 million for Thirteen, following the commencement of kitchen, bathroom and re-wire schemes at Albany, Chilton and Blue Hall earlier this year. The amount of work secured in Year 2 of the framework is testament to the hard work of the team to mobilise and action five schemes at the same time.
"We approach these robust refurbishments with a customer first approach and appreciate that at times the works may be intrusive, but we are committed to working with Thirteen to collaboratively improve homes for residents."
Bramley Court and Richard Court are aimed at people aged 55+ who might need support to live independently in their own home.
Esh Construction was appointed to Thirteen's Capital Delivery Framework - a £150 million home investment programme – at the beginning of 2023.
