About Us

A unique contractor, developer and investor

United House specialises in the new build and refurbishment of social housing, urban regeneration, private residential development and the delivery of Public Private Partnership projects.

Since our formation in 1964 we have enjoyed impressive year on year growth and in 2010 we had a turnover of £201 million (£182 million in 2009).

This continued success comes from aligning the business with the needs of our clients in the public and private sectors and positioning ourselves at the leading-edge of the housing sector to become a contractor, developer and investor that is able to develop or fund, regenerate, construct and maintain the assets of our clients.

We believe our combination of entrepreneurial flair, financial strength, bespoke investment provision, technical skills, and enthusiasm for strategic partnership working is unique in our sector.

However, we recognise that it is no longer just about building homes. Contractors nowadays must be prepared to invest time and capital into major projects. United House has developed such a reputation, as evidenced by a number of significant contract awards in the past year.

We are also one of London’s foremost niche private residential developers, with design-led developments in prime locations that rank among the most innovative in the market.

Our investment expertise enables us to raise funding for PPP projects and finance for our private development portfolio.

A proactive CSR programme and commitment to developing sustainable communities not only reduces our environmental impact, but also has a lasting effect long after our projects have been delivered.

United House has never been afraid of innovation and this has resulted in market-leading positions as:

• An industry leader in UK Housing PFI with over 7,000 homes under management across a £1 billion portfolio of projects.
• Industry leaders in housing refurbishment, having delivered more than 80,000 Decent Homes.
• Pioneers of low cost, eco refurbishment to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
• Award winning private residential developers with some of the most inspiring designs in the UK.
• Improvers of more than 250,000 homes with residents in occupation.
• Top quartile industry performers for Health and Safety.

Our mission statement:

"To deliver quality, innovative and sustainable homes and solutions for all our customers by being the market leader at a fair cost and in a manner that ensures the continued success and growth of United House and its staff."
