AJS has commenced mobilisation of a long‑term contract for the delivery of electrical repair and maintenance works across Havering Council’s housing stock.
The contract, valued at £5 million per annum will run for an initial nine years and five months, with the option to extend for a further five years.
The new contract award builds on an already successful partnership between the Council and AJS, which has delivered electrical services for local residents for more than nine years.
Under the contract terms, AJS will continue to provide communal and domestic electrical testing across the borough. The programme also expands to include installation of Solar PV panels and EV charging points, as well as supporting safer and more secure homes.
The works will take place across a range of housing types, including hostels, high‑ and low‑rise developments, sheltered housing, assisted living schemes, and general needs properties.
Cllr Paul McGeary, Cabinet Member for Housing Property, said: “I’m pleased to see this new contract with AJS underway, strengthening the long‑standing partnership between Havering Council and AJS. Ensuring the safety, reliability and efficiency of electrical services across our housing stock is vital, and this programme will help us continue to protect residents’ homes while supporting improvements across a wide range of properties.”
As part of the contract, AJS will also be contributing to Havering’s social value commitments, creating added benefits for residents and the wider community.
FMJ and Watco Webinar: Meeting compliance in a new culture of accountability
From January 2026, the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) formally separated from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Created under the Building Safety Act 2022 in response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the BSR is designed to raise safety standards across the built environment and introduce a stronger culture of accountability, transparency, and proactive risk management.
This shift places facilities managers in a more strategic safety assurance role – far beyond routine maintenance.
FMJ and Watco are hosting a webinar on 22 April at 11:00am to explore what this new regulatory landscape means for FMs. To register for the webinar click here.
