EuroTop carried out internal upgrade works to bring the Golden Lane Estate properties up to the required Decent Homes standard. Designed in 1952 by renowned architects Chamberlain, Powell and Bon, the 224 flats on the estate are spread across six low rise buildings and one dominating tower block, of which three of the blocks are Grade 2 listed buildings.
In addition to the restrictions put in place by the English Heritage, the flats had unusually small kitchens even by London standards. Finding places for cookers and other appliances proved to be a challenging issue for the project team but we still delivered within the timeframe and budget.
