Projects - Helen Court

Helen Court


Project Description
Helen Court is sheltered housing accommodation run by the Southern Housing Group. The scheme consists of a mixture of one and two bedroom properties. It is made up of a main block containing 60 properties, communal areas and visitor accommodation.

We are:

  • Replacing the boilers in the ground floor boiler room.
  • Replacing pipework from the boiler room, the heating and hot water primary circuit pipework and connecting into the existing property heating and hot water pipework circuits.
  • Installing 4 new hot water calorifiers.
  • Installing new heating and hot water pipework circuits throughout the communal areas.

The works will also include replacement electrical services in the plantrooms and associated controls system.

Within the Landlord Areas, we are:

  • Installing new heating circulation pipework.
  • Removing and replacing the corridor ceilings with holes through walls into flats.
  • Removing existing pipework.

Within flats, we are installing new heating and hot water, and still pieces for individual flat heat metering system. Associated builders work will also be carried out.

The systems will be flushed and refilled to ensure the correct levels of water treatment, after completion of internal works.

We have appointed an experienced site team to ensure that we cater for the needs of the residents.

Works began in early December 2020 and will be complete by the end of April 2021; the contract value is £590k.

Works are progressing well with this very favourable feedback:

“I would like to take this opportunity to say Thank You for all the hard work you and all Invicta project team on site at Helen Court have put in so far.

From the site inspection and what I saw yesterday, it appears that if not ahead of the Plan of Works, the project works are on target to be completed on time, it’s good to know that the project management team are taking a very professional approach to running the project and the day to day basis.

On my way out yesterday, a resident approached me (lives on second floor of the building), after talking for a while to explain what my roll is, the resident stated he was very happy with the way the project is being managed, the resident was especially happy with Leah and both yourselves.

It’s good to know we have the right team on site. Once again, many thanks for all the hard work so far.”

The speed, quality of work and professionalism of every team member at every step of the way, has been beyond comparison. Well done to everybody involved and thank you for making what I anticipated would be an awkward few days, as easy as possible. Everybody was superbly professional and a joy to be around

P.S. Thanks also for fitting your works around my freshly decorated flat so well!! Much appreciated, thanks again to all”

Wonderful work ……. installing my new heating

” I would like to thank Invicta for the wonderful work your men have done installing my new heating, you surely have a  brilliant workforce. John was brilliant, he did extra stuff which I’m so very grateful, also your men left my home spotlessly clean. I would certainly recommend Invicta and your workforce to all I know. I would very much like to give a special thanks to Dave the Boss, and Leah for their kindness during this  time, no fuss, just brilliant care. Thanks again.

Well done and highly recommended

“I viewed with some unease the likely upheaval involved in the replacement of my old radiator heating system with five new thermostatically controlled radiators including a hot radiator towel rail.

However, i experienced a trouble free professional transition organised by Dave and his friendly, polite and helpful team. Nothing too much trouble throughout and work completed to advised schedule.

Thank you Invicta. Well done and highly recommended”
