Cardo has been appointed as a delivery partner on L&Q’s Major Works Investment Programme, one of the largest home improvement programmes in the UK housing sector.
The 15-year, £3bn programme will see improvements delivered across L&Q’s portfolio, helping ensure homes meet the Decent Homes Standard while also supporting wider ambitions around building safety and energy efficiency.
As part of the programme, Cardo will deliver a range of planned maintenance and retrofit works, with initial projects focused on fire remediation from 2026/7.
Mark Newstead, Director of Major Programmes at L&Q, said:
“Cardo brings extensive experience in delivering large-scale planned maintenance and retrofit programmes within the housing sector.
“Their focus on resident experience and commitment to delivering high-quality works aligns closely with our values and our ambitions for the programme.
“I know they’ll play an important role in helping us deliver improvements to residents’ homes and communities.”
Liam Bevan, CEO at Cardo Group, said:
“L&Q’s Major Works Investment Programme is a landmark investment and a real opportunity to improve the safety, comfort and environmental performance of residents’ homes and communities at scale.
“Cardo brings vast experience in delivering property services for housing providers, and we are looking forward to working closely with L&Q and its current partners to deliver improvements that residents can really feel.”
Cardo joins a number of established partners on the programme, working collaboratively to deliver upgrades to kitchens, bathrooms, windows, roofs and communal spaces, alongside fire safety works, mechanical and electrical upgrades, and energy efficiency improvements.
The programme has already improved more than 21,000 homes, with a continued focus on delivering social value alongside physical improvements to homes and neighbourhoods.
Alongside its work in delivering maintenance and refurbishment programmes at scale throughout the UK and Ireland, Cardo is dedicated to supporting local communities through employment, skills development, and volunteering.
