United House pioneered the provision of "four-day" total refurbishment package programmes in the 1970s with the GLC (including kitchen, bathroom and heating installation) and has since installed such packages in more than 100,000 homes with residents remaining in occupation.

 

 

 

 

 

Over the years the Company has continually refined the system to provide an unrivalled service to Local Authorities, Housing Associations and their residents. The system works to a tightly disciplined programme: Every resident is consulted to find out where they would prefer kitchen units, radiators or other fittings to be positioned and offered a choice of decorative finishes where relevant. A package of all the materials for that particular dwelling is pre-assembled in United House's own warehouse in Swanley for delivery to site on the day it is required.
