Project Gallery

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 21/01/2026

    Rose Bank
    We’re pleased to confirm that the roofline works at Rose Bank flats have now been completed and all scaffolding has been removed.
    Weather permitting, external redecoration works are expected to begin from the week commencing 19 January. As these works are taking place during the winter months, there may be occasional short-notice changes due to weather conditions. The redecoration works are anticipated to last for around four weeks.

    All planned works at Norman Colyer Court have now been completed.
    We are also happy to confirm that roof works to the adjoining nursery have been finished and the associated scaffolding has now been removed.
    Waters Edge
    Works at Waters Edge are currently underway and are expected to continue through to the end of March 2026, subject to weather conditions and site progress.
    The works include the installation of new communal entrance door systems, new flooring within parts of the communal areas, and redecoration of the internal communal spaces.
    We understand that these are high-traffic shared areas, and our teams are mindful of the impact this can have on residents. Every effort will be made to keep disruption to a minimum while maintaining safe access at all times.
    Avon Close
    Scaffolding will be installed over the coming weeks to allow roof works to be carried out. Once in place, works are expected to continue for approximately eight weeks, subject to weather conditions and operational requirements.
    Chamberlain Close

    As part of these works, all guttering at The Crescent will be replaced. Please note that all works are external and carried out at height, meaning they are highly weather-dependent. We kindly ask for your understanding that work schedules may need to change at short notice due to weather conditions.
    Thank You
    We would like to thank all residents for their continued patience, understanding, and cooperation while these works are carried out.
