George Jones & Son (Contractors) Ltd are working on behalf of Town and Country Housing as part of their External Planned Maintenance Programme. The works are based on the externals of your home and any internal communal areas (if applicable), and they generally consist of any minor pre-paint repairs, followed by decoration works.

The work is being carried out in phases to minimise disruption and inconvenience to residents. Each and every property we undertake maintenance works on are thoroughly checked by our on Site team, to ensure a satisfactory standard is achieved. TCH management team also look at a sample of properties post completion to help ensure the required standards have been met. Contractors only work from 8am-5pm, Monday to Friday.

If you are a vulnerable resident, or require additional assistance – please let us know and we can discuss the best way to undertake works to your property, to ensure any disruption is kept to a minimum.

For the financial year 25-26 we are mainly working in the Royal Tunbridge Wells and Epsom areas. For a detailed breakdown of our intended programme of works please find it located at the bottom of this page as a separate document (note this is approximate and subject to change).

    Programme Update – November 2025

    We are now approaching the final quarter of our 2025/26 External Planned Maintenance Programme for Town & Country Housing.

    The External Decorating and UPVC washdowns for Ruxley Lane have now been completed. Avon Close has been delayed, but a date will be confirmed for in the new year.

    Most of the Rosebank bungalows have had their roofline works completed.

    The scaffolding for the Rosebank flats has now been erected and works are underway to remove the roofline in line with Health & Safety legislation. The works are anticipated to be completed and scaffolding to be removed by Christmas.

    Roofline works, including soffit and fascia replacements have been completed in Cox Lane, Gatley Avenue and Holman Road.

    We have completed the majority of the internal decorating at Norman Colyer Court. The lounge is still outstanding, and our staff will be checking for any snags that need to be carried out. There are still some external items that still need to be done, including decorating the porch, and providing the external shelter.

    The adjoining Nursery roof works are starting shortly, and the scaffolding is being erected this weekend, from 06/12/25.

    Works will be taking place on the Watersedge Estate from January – April 2026. These will include redecoration, flooring and general repairs. More information will follow in the New Year.
