Completion - 7 September 2012

The new homes at Lincoln Road were handed over to Accent Nene on 7 September 2012 from  Larkfleet.  The new residents moved into the rented properties over the weekend and the first shared owner moved in of 27 September 2012.   There are a few photographs below which I hope you agree show that the development was a success and that Thurston House sits well in its new surroundings.

Progress Report - Week Commencing 25 June 2012

The houses are now almost complete and the external landscaping is well underway.  Once the boilers are commissioned and the units are fully complete an inspection of the units to highlight any remaining issues which need to be dealt with prior to handover of the units.

Thurston House is now fully plastered and has had the first coat of paint.  The bathrooms are now in and the kitchens are in the process of being fitted.  It was originally hoped to keep the original door but unfortunately due to the change in the stairs layout a new door will be required and we are in the process of sourcing a suitable replacement.

The scaffold to the flats has now been dropped similarly to Thurston House these are fully plastered and the first coat of paint has been completed.  The bathrooms are in and the kitchens are in the process of being fitted.

Progress Report - week commencing 5 March 2012

The brickwork to the houses at the rear of the site has now been completed; internally the plastering is underway and the first coat of paint is being applied.





The PV installation to all the houses is also now complete




There has not been much progress to the apartments in Thurston House recenlty as there were some changes needed to the wiring layout to ensure that the kitchen and room layouts best met the needs of the new residents. As this is now all agreed work will recommence to complete the wiring before plastering is commenced.




External brickwork has now been commenced to the block of flats at the front of the site and internally the electrical installation is now well underway.





You may also notice that there is currently roadworks on Lincoln Road itself and this is the final part of the utility connections needed for the site. These were delayed in order that the disruption on Lincoln Road was kept to a minimum.

The contractor is forecasting that the work is still slightly ahead of programme and that the homes will be ready for the September 2012 programmed completion date.

If you have any queries regarding these new homes please do not hesitate to contact me on 01733 295465.

Progress Report - Week Commencing 13 February 2012

The winter weather has finally arrived, however as the new houses to the rear of the site are fully roofed and the pv panels fitted, this is not causing us major difficulties. The cold weather will delay the brick laying, however work can continue on the interiors and the electric and plumbing work to the houses is complete. The boarding out is almost complete with plastering to commence shortly.

With regard to the newbuild flats to the front of the site - these were slightly delayed due to the change in planning application to in-roof pv panels. This change has now been approved and work is progressing with the installation of the electrics and plumbing to these flats.



The refubishment of Thurston House is continuing, the replacement work to the roof and the repair work to the chimneys is almost complete. The rebuilding of the rear gable wall is now fully completed and work to repair any other exterior brickwork as necessary is underway. Installation is continuing to the interior with electrics and plumbing complete the to the ground floor apartments. We are expecting the window installation to commence shortly.

If you have any questions regarding the work taking place please contact me on 01733 295465.
