Latest update

Our contractor, United Living, will be starting work at Geoffrey Woolley House from 11 November 2024. They will be preparing for the main works, which are due to begin in January 2025. These works will replace the building's exterior insulation. A meeting will be arranged between residents and the contractor where they will outline the works in more detail. We will notify residents about this when it has been arranged.
