Working with Stonham
Stonham is England's largest provider of housing and support for
vulnerable people and is the care and support division of Home,
one of the UK's leading providers of affordable rented housing,
supported housing and low-cost home ownership. They work with over
13,500 socially excluded people every year. Stonham's mix of housing
services and support allows their tenants to live independently in a
range of accommodation from supported housing to managed bed spaces and
hostels.
Stonham's services are truly nationwide. They run 577 residential
services across the country, where people live and receive support from
their professional and dedicated staff.
Kinetics provide a range of maintenance services to Stonham. All
works are let under a schedule of rates and are based upon minimum and
average job costs. The turnover of this work is not significant at c £
500k per annum, but the workload is demanding and requires us to use
social as well as technical skills. As you can see from the range of
housing types in management, Kinetics technicians are experienced in
working in a wide range of property types with tenants from a number of
social and with a range of mental and other heath backgrounds. This
means that our staff have to be aware of diversity and other issues
when interacting with the tenants, and they are versed in safe and
careful working.
The project covers a wide geographic area of south and south midland
England. We have established systems to manage such diverse stock which
is based in rural, coastal and urban areas. The project has been
demanding in many ways but we have managed to establish a sound
reputation with regular feedback based upon high satisfaction levels.
In those instances where we have made mistakes we have worked with
Stonham to quickly resolve the problem to ensure that it does not
reoccur again in the future.
