We are delivering a long-term programme of improvement works at Kingsway Gardens to maintain and enhance the condition of the buildings and communal areas. The programme has been developed following inspections and feedback from customers, and aims to address a range of maintenance issues while helping to protect homes for the future.
The works will be carried out in a number of phases over several years. The first phase, scheduled to begin in July 2026, includes the replacement of skylights where required, improvements to guttering and rainwater drainage, roofline adjustments, external redecoration of buildings, and repairs to masonry and other external surfaces. Future phases will include further drainage improvements and the renewal of hardstanding and tarmac areas where required.
As works progress, customers may see scaffolding erected around buildings and contractors working on site. We understand that this may cause some temporary inconvenience and we are committed to keeping disruption to a minimum wherever possible. Our project team, including the project manager, clerk of works and major works liaison officers, will be available throughout the programme to answer questions, monitor progress and provide support.
This page will be regularly updated with the latest information about the project, including programme updates, key milestones, frequently asked questions and details of upcoming works. We encourage customers to check back regularly to stay informed as the project progresses.
Resident meetings
The works at Kingsway Gardens will be completed on a block-by-block basis. Before works commence on your block, we will contact all affected customers to invite them to a meeting.
These meetings will provide an opportunity to meet members of the project team, learn more about the planned works, understand what to expect during the construction period, and ask any questions you may have. We will also share information about the programme of works, likely timescales, access requirements and any measures being taken to minimise disruption.
Further details, including dates, times and venues, will be provided nearer the time your block is scheduled to start.

Polite request
Please can we remind residents to keep their balconies clean and free of any rubbish or debris. We have unfortunately found several cases of pet faeces being washed down the downpipes from balconies which has created blockages further down the pipework.
