What Westone does

Westone Ltd, trading as Westone Housing, is a Peterborough-based property refurbishment and development specialist serving the East Anglia region and surrounding areas. The company delivers a unified suite of services covering commercial property conversions, insurance property repairs (flood, fire, storm, subsidence, and impact damage), social housing renovation including void property refurbishment, disabled adaptations, wet rooms, and kitchen and bathroom replacements, HMO conversions, and general residential and commercial renovation plus damp treatment. Service delivery relies on a combination of directly employed tradespeople and approved subcontractors, supported by an in-house apprenticeship programme with Peterborough Regional College established in 2014.

Westone operates an integrated paperless claims management system and online customer portal, providing insurers with day-to-day photographic updates, detailed material-and-labour estimates, and a single point of contact throughout the claim lifecycle. The company holds sector-mandatory and procurement-gatekeeping accreditations including NICEIC, Gas Safe, CHAS, Constructionline Gold (attained 2020), and TrustMark, which together qualify it for housing-association tenders and insurance repair panels.

The business generates revenue on a project-by-project, quote-based model across B2B and B2C channels: insurance companies and brokers (claims management and property reinstatement), housing associations (planned and reactive maintenance contracts), landlords and letting agents (maintenance and HMO conversions), and residential and commercial property owners (refurbishment, renovation, and damp treatment). The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding and operates from a recently expanded headquarters in Peterborough.
