RLH Developments is a family-run firm, with a commitment to excellence in everything we do. We have a particular focus on health and safety and training – all of our surveyors and operatives receive regular, scheduled health and safety briefings in all aspects of the work we cover and are trained to the highest industry standards.

Trusted by Local Authorities and Housing Associations

We work for the public housing sector - employed by local authorities and housing associations - for main contractors and building clients, and for private homeowners. We undertake surveys and provide a professional, comprehensive report and estimate based on our own pricing structure or a pre-agreed schedule of rates. For specific information on the services we provide for clients, please refer to our local authorities page, our building contractors page and our private clients page.

Our testimonials from happy householders confirm that we adhere to the highest standards of workmanship in their homes and all our staff are courteous and considerate at all times.

We take pride in our work

We pride ourselves on excellent working relationships with our clients and with our courtesy and consideration to those affected by our works. We have completed many successful contracts and continue to gain new clients due to our staffs’ professionalism and attention to detail.

In particular, we understand and consider the needs and concerns of householders - whether we are working directly for them or for landlords or housing associations - while undertaking disruptive and difficult work in their homes. We are always sensitive to the fact we are working in people’s homes and work carefully to minimise disruption while building works are going ahead.

Croydon building company crowned Contractor of the Year - Sutton and Croydon Guardian

A Croydon building preservation company has been crowned Contractor of the Year. RLH Developments were presented with the national award from the UK trade body the Property Care Association (PCA), at an event held at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

Founded almost 30 years ago, RLH Developments, based in Coombe Avenue, carries out specialist timber and damp proofing works for local authorities, housing associations and main contractors. RLH Directors Andy Godfree and Kerri O'Reilly travelled to south Wales to pick up their award.

Speaking after the event Ms O'Reilly said: "We are really proud and pleased to have achieved this award. It is great news for the company."

Steve Hodgson general manager of the PCA said: "This is the first year we have introduced the Contractor of the Year category into our award programme and RLH Developments are very worthy winners of the title.
