The Grenfell Tower tragedy resulted in the loss of 72 lives and caused significant trauma for the survivors and bereaved. It also resulted in a permanent loss of people’s homes.

Working in close partnership with these residents, Grenfell Housing Services provide a bespoke housing management service, including repairs and maintenance of homes and communal areas, as well as major works and cyclical upgrades. 

We are also working with residents to ensure that Lancaster West becomes a model 21st century estate.

We are committed to working with our residents and building on this progress, to maximise safety and ensure homes are carbon-neutral by 2030.

You will be responsible for surveying properties and specifying repairs, overseeing complex major works, and ensuring that residents live in safe, secure and high-quality homes.
