Phipps Bridge, Mitcham
We're continuing to invest in Phipps Bridge, Mitcham, with a major improvement programme that began on 31 March 2026. This is a multi-year project covering 11 residential blocks, with works being completed in carefully planned phases. The overall completion date will be confirmed as the programme progresses. Blocks Include: Albury Court, Bookham Court, Bramley Court, Brooklands Court, Cranleigh Court, Ewhurst Court, Frencham Court, Merrow Court, Richmond Court and Ripley Court.
What work is taking place?
A wide range of improvements are being carried out to help protect the buildings, improve residents' homes and enhance the communal areas. These include:
- Scaffolding to provide safe access for external works.
- Replacing flat windows and improving kitchen ventilation.
- Renewing soffits, fascias, barge boards, gutters and downpipes with new uPVC materials that match the existing appearance.
- Clearing and relining mid-level guttering to improve rainwater drainage.
- Replacing canopy gutters and downpipes.
- Renewing the flat roof near the bin store.
- Carrying out repairs to damaged render and brickwork.
- Repainting external terracotta walls and all external metalwork, including communal handrails and bin and pram shed doors.
- Installing new doors to the pram sheds and redecorating the internal walls and ceilings.
- Replacing communal flooring within entrance halls and stairways.
- Renewing stair nosings to improve safety.
- Replacing external loft access doors.
- Carrying out environmental cleaning to the building exteriors, including the gable ends and roof areas.
Benefits of the programme
These improvements will help to:
- Improve the weather protection and longevity of the buildings.
- Increase energy efficiency through new windows.
- Improve the appearance of the estate.
- Enhance the safety and condition of communal areas.
- Reduce future maintenance and repair requirements.
- Create a cleaner, more welcoming environment for residents.
Progress so far
Roofing works are complete at Merrow Court, Ripley Court, Bramley Court, Albury Court and Brooklands Court. Windows are in progress on all of these blocks. Cranleigh Court scaffolding is being erected prior to the roof works commencing. The next block to start will be Ewhurst Court but this will not be until early 2027.
Residents affected by each phase will receive advance notice of when work is due to start on their building and when access to individual homes is required.
We appreciate that large-scale improvement works can cause some temporary disruption, and we'd like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation. We'll continue to provide updates as the programme progresses and will keep residents informed of key milestones throughout the project.
