Sandringham Flats
Improvement Project
Soho Housing Association have started estate improvement work at Sandringham Flats.
Durkan Ltd have been commissioned as contractors for the project and are now on site.
You can find details of the Durkan team working on the project here.
We are carrying out the following main works:
- Replacement of front and rear windows
- Replacement of flat entrance doors
- Internal redecorations to communal areas
- External redecorations
- Mains electrical works and lighting in communal areas
- Roof and guttering repairs
- Brickwork, concrete and render to walls
- Fire safety compliance works
- Installation of new video door entry system
- Drainage works
- Scaffolding
Work schedule and key updates:
Refurbishment to the estate is well under way and the majority of windows and new entrance doors have been fitted.
Extensive remedial work was required to the external structure to make good damage and deterioration to the brickwork, concrete and masonry. Some of the decorative render finishes to the window surrounds in particular required extensive repair as the internal metalwork had corroded resulting in cracks and spalling to the render. Most of the masonry repairs are complete and redecoration works are now under way.
Dismantling of the scaffold will begin in April. The contractor will be taking precautions to maintain safety and security whilst they are on site.
Please be aware of the increased security risk while the scaffold is in place, and ensure that your windows are kept locked when unattended.
We apologise for any disruption arising from the works. We thank you for your patience and cooperation at this time

We have been carrying out extensive concrete and render repairs to remedy damage to the external decorative finishes.
