Inside Housing – News – Kingston Council selects firm for £163m repairs and capital works contract

All three divisions within the Breyer Group – roofing, repair and renewal – will work on the contract.

Kingston Councillor Emily Davey said: “I am delighted to welcome Breyer Group to the council and look forward to working with them to ensure our tenants and leaseholders receive the best possible service for their repair and maintenance work.

“The tender for this contract was made in collaboration with residents, who will monitor the project throughout its entire trajectory. We are committed to working with Breyer Group in the future.”

Daren Moseley, Breyer’s chief executive, said he was “delighted” to have won the contract.

“We aim to provide exemplary service by maintaining and renewing the council’s housing stock, while delivering impactful, life-enhancing social value for the benefit of its customers and communities,” he said.

“We have exciting plans to create meaningful employment for local residents, alongside delivering other initiatives around mental health, wellbeing and reducing their carbon footprint.

“We look forward to helping improve the homes and communities of Kingston residents for years to come.”

Breyer will join the council in October and the agreement can be extended until 2034.

The company was one of 10 contractors selected last year by L&Q, the G15 housing association, to deliver almost £3bn of investment in planned improvements and carbon reduction works over the next 15 years.

As social landlords come under pressure to invest more in existing housing stock, a number of similar deals have been announced recently.

Earlier this week, a subsidiary of United Living signed an eight-year, £40 million repair contract with London Borough of Harrow.

United Living Property Services (ULPS) will carry out maintenance work for approximately 5,000 properties in the district.

ULPS carries out daily repairs, defect repairs and planned maintenance.
