What services do you offer for housing association grounds maintenance?

We provide a full range of external grounds maintenance services tailored to the needs of housing associations and their residents. This typically includes grass cutting, hedge and shrub pruning, weed control, litter collection, fencing, and pond maintenance. We also offer seasonal planting, fly-tipping removal, and snow and ice management during the winter months. All work is carried out by uniformed professionals using high-quality equipment to ensure a consistent, clean result.

Why is regular grounds maintenance important for housing associations?

Consistent grounds maintenance plays a key role in improving the quality of life for tenants and supporting the social value aims of housing associations. Well-maintained communal areas create a sense of pride, discourage antisocial behaviour, and reduce the likelihood of complaints. From a property management perspective, it also helps maintain asset value and supports health and safety compliance. For housing providers working to meet tenant satisfaction standards and regulatory benchmarks, having a trusted maintenance partner is essential.

Do you work across multiple sites or estates?

Yes. We’re highly experienced in maintaining multiple housing sites on behalf of local authorities, housing associations, and managing agents. We offer a structured, scalable approach, allowing us to service multiple blocks or estates while ensuring consistent communication, reporting, and accountability. Whether it’s a small cul-de-sac or a large estate with dozens of buildings, our team can deliver a reliable, scheduled service that keeps every location looking its best.

Can you work around resident schedules or sensitivities?

Absolutely. We understand that many residents in housing association properties may include vulnerable individuals, elderly tenants, or families with young children. Our team is trained to work respectfully and quietly, using battery-powered tools where necessary to reduce noise disturbance. We also offer flexibility in scheduling, for example, completing work in the mornings if afternoon visits are disruptive. We can even provide multilingual site signage and custom communication materials for residents when required.

How do you report and deal with issues such as fly-tipping or vandalism?

As part of our proactive approach, we regularly monitor sites and report any incidents such as fly-tipping, graffiti, or damage to communal areas. Our team takes photographs for your records and will remove fly-tipped items if instructed or include the clearance as part of your agreed package. Our aim is to not only keep spaces clean, but to reduce the potential for resident complaints and environmental hazards.

Are your staff fully vetted and insured?

Yes, every member of our team is professionally trained, fully insured, and DBS-checked where necessary. We place a strong emphasis on reliability, courtesy, and safety. Our operatives wear branded uniforms and carry identification, which gives both housing association staff and residents peace of mind. In addition, we hold full public liability and employer’s liability insurance, and we are registered waste carriers with the Environment Agency.

How can you help with resident satisfaction?

We understand that housing associations often need to provide evidence of maintenance activity, value for money, and service quality to internal teams, boards, or regulators. That’s why we provide clear reporting, photo documentation, and real-time updates when needed. We’re happy to work with your housing officers or compliance leads to ensure our service supports your KPIs and service standards.

How much does housing association grounds maintenance cost?

Costs are based on the size and layout of the site, the frequency of visits, and the specific services required. We work with housing associations of all sizes and always aim to create cost-effective, bespoke packages that meet both service and budgetary requirements. After a free site visit, we’ll provide a detailed, transparent quote with no hidden charges. Contact us for more information here.

Do you offer scheduled, year-round contracts?

Yes, we offer annual maintenance contracts that cover all seasons. This ensures your estates remain clean, safe, and visually appealing throughout the year. Spring and summer schedules focus on mowing, pruning, and planting, while autumn and winter plans include leaf clearance, grit spreading, and reactive works like debris removal after storms. Our team works consistently and reliably so you never need to chase progress.
