Project Details
Axis won a contract with new client, Wandle Housing Association, to conduct renovations to 14 flats at Crystal Palace, London SE19.
The flats are located in two adjoining town-house-style properties, 109-111 Central Hill, and are home to approximately 30 residents.
After conducting asbestos surveys, our team erected scaffolding and installed a temporary roof to protect the residents’ homes. We then repaired and renewed both the flat and pitched roofs to both properties.
Externally we carried out stone, masonry and render remedial repairs as well as redecorating.And we also renewed the rainwater goods and soil vent pipes.
We installed new double glazed UPVC windows to each flat and both communal areas.
We finished off our Flat Renovations Programme with Class 0 decorations to the communal areas which, as well as giving the space a fresh new look, also conform to fire inhibition regulations.
Benefits
- Improved insulation/energy efficiency
- Greater aesthetic appeal
- Future proofing against further repairs
- Compliant with fire regulations

This is our first contract with Wandle Housing Association who owns over 7,000 properties across nine south London boroughs.
Wandle Housing Association provides homes for rent (social and affordable), shared ownership, outright sale, and supported housing. The Merton Family Housing Trust, Wandle Housing Association’s original name, was formed in 1967.
