The Essex based contractor ran the rule over a number of Rok jobs but decided not to make a move after seeing the state of the collapsed contractor’s books.
Chigwell beat off competition from 12 rivals to win the role of reserve contractor for maintenance services on Southern’s 16,000 homes across London and the Thames Gateway region.
Managing director Dean Floyd said: “We pride ourselves on the service delivery we provide and we are sure over the coming years Southern Housing will be proud to have Chigwell Construction as main partner.”
