The Wedgewood Standard, brought to social housing.
Wedgewood is a multi-discipline construction company with an award-winning new-build housing arm.

↳ An award-winning contractor with a focus on social value.
Specialists in void refurbishment.
Voids are what we do best. We turn empty properties around quickly and to a consistent lettable standard — getting homes back into use and rent flowing, with no compromise on finish.
Bring void numbers back under control
Additional teams mobilised quickly to clear a build-up of empty properties and protect your re-let performance and rental income.
Working alongside your direct labour
We match your standards, processes and schedule of rates — supporting your in-house teams, not competing with them.
Capacity that flexes to demand
Take on overflow by the property or the whole programme — ramp up for a surge, and step away once the backlog is cleared.
A recent void, transformed.
A void property in the South East, taken from tired and end-of-tenancy to a clean, safe, lettable standard by our in-house teams.
Every snag tracked to sign-off.
Snagging is where the standard is protected. We log and photograph every defect, track it to a fix, and sign a property off only when it’s genuinely ready to let — and we’re bringing it into one digital system for full visibility and a clean audit trail.
Snags raised room-by-room, with photos, the moment they’re spotted.

If it helps keep social housing stock safe and lettable, we can likely help — just ask.
New affordable homes, built to a higher standard.
As a housebuilder, we don’t just maintain stock — we create it. We design and build new social and affordable homes for housing associations, local authorities and registered providers, handed over to the same finish standard as the homes we deliver for private sale.
Individual homes through to multi-unit schemes and apartment blocks.
Land-led development, Section 106 affordable delivery and partnership schemes.
From planning and design through construction to handover, managed in-house.
The standard is the difference.
