Published requirement description

Anchor Hanover Group (Anchor), England’s largest provider of specialist housing and care for people later in life, is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to undertake a redecoration project at one of our locations in Kent: Jarmans Field.

The project comprises internal and external redecoration works at an occupied freehold retirement development consisting of 26 two-bedroom bungalows and 4 three-bedroom purpose-built properties. A number of these properties have conservatories of varying designs, which impact affect access requirements.

The proposed works include a combination of the following activities:

  • Removal and replacement of rainwater goods (up to connections with but excluding guttering around each conservatory)
  • Timber repairs including rotten timber replacement and 2-part epoxy resin care repairs
  • Preparation and redecoration of fascias, soffits (as required), remaining timber bargeboards, undercroft rafters and associated roofline timbers
  • Garage timber repairs and redecoration including full preparation and redecoration
  • Timber front entrance door, bin storage door and entrance archway redecoration including full preparation and redecoration
  • Limited internal decoration of walls (3 communal rooms), skirting boards and doors in identified areas
  • Waste removal and disposal
  • Scaffolding to high areas (with the exclusion of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs))

A voluntary standstill period will be observed for 8 working days from 4th August 2026, ending 12:00am 13th August 2026.
