Client testimonial
“I am writing to thank you for the excellent work carried out by your company in the very careful dismantling of the failed parapet walls and their re-construction. The original walls, built in the mid-1930’s, were constructed without cavity trays and DPC’s and as a consequence, following prolonged periods of rain, damage was being caused to the interiors of flats.
The site contains 211 privately owned flats and your team completed all works while the flats remained fully occupied and without any issues being raised by leaseholders. Such consideration of leaseholders’ amenity and privacy was very much appreciated by the employer.
The standard of management on site proved key to the success coupled to a skilled workforce. On behalf of the employer and this practice I wish to thank you for delivering a very challenging project within the tight programme, mid November 2016 thro’ to end of March 2017, and within budget. This is rare on any project but even more impressive when the work is to an existing Grade 2 listed, fully occupied residential building.
Please pass my thanks on to all members involved on this project”. of staff involved on this project”.

“Festalfine Ltd is the owner of the freehold of Lichfield Court estate and is also its registered management company situated in an office on the estate.
Completed in 1935, Lichfield Court consists of two 7 storey Grade II Listed purpose built blocks of flats (211 in total) in fine Art Deco style surrounded by grounds, landscaped gardens, roads and parking situated in central Richmond. Since 2007 Festalfine has carried out a series of phased major remedial works culminating in the most recent with the completion of a contract for remedial works to the south facing brick-built parapet walls at roof level on both blocks.
MDH Developments Ltd was successful in the tender process for this last programme of works and was subsequently employed by Festalfine Ltd with work commencing on site in October 2016. MDH immediately demonstrated its understanding of the challenges of working in a fully occupied residential environment and from day one adopted a courteous and highly communicative approach with the estate management team and the residents of the estate -this eased the difficulties which inevitably arise in such circumstances and in so doing MDH significantly helped the estate management team in its day to day activities.
Most importantly, MDH undertook the scheduled works in a highly professional manner, working closely with our experienced construction and professional team - the ensuing efficient working relationship with the team and MDH’s employment of a first class construction team resulted in the contract being finished ahead of programme and within budget which has enabled us to hold service charges at our budgeted level.
Festalfine would not hesitate to recommend MDH Developments Ltd to any potential employer seeking a contractor to undertake work in a professional and workmanlike manner in a similarly challenging environment ”.
