United House has unrivalled experience in estate refurbishment in the social housing sector. Since we started in 1964, we have transformed the homes of well over 1million Local Authority and Housing Association residents, fitting over 750,000 kitchen cabinets, 400,000 baths and 350,000 toilets along the way!

 

 

 

 

 

Much of our success in estate refurbishment projects comes from having extensive expertise and dedicated personnel in construction, mechanical engineering, resident liaison and the development and implementation of innovative financial solutions.
