Novus Property Solutions: maintenance, refurbishment and retrofit across the UK

Novus Property Solutions describes itself as a national maintenance, refurbishment and fit-out contractor with a 127-year history. Its work is organised around three broad areas — maintaining existing stock, delivering refurbishment projects and carrying out retrofit and decarbonisation works — and it serves social housing, healthcare, education and commercial property clients.

Maintenance and compliance

On the maintenance side, the company lists planned maintenance, reactive maintenance, passive fire protection and compliance works, alongside painting and specialist coatings. It frames these as long-term partnership contracts as well as individual programmes, aimed at improving and maintaining standards for clients in social housing, health and education.

Refurbishment and fit-out projects

Novus states it can take on small, bespoke one-off projects as well as large, multi-million-pound national refurbishment programmes across any sector. Its fast track fit-out service sits within this area, supporting clients' longer-term property investment plans. Published project examples include a £4.2 million transformation at Loughborough University creating two specialist DIGI-Labs, an £800K pharmacy refurbishment at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, a £1.2m student accommodation scheme, a £1.9m Institute of Technology Centre at Aston University, a £250K refurbishment at Ashby Court in Norwich for Places for People, a £2.5m whole-house energy efficiency refurbishment in Crewe for the Guinness Partnership and an internal and external refurbishment programme worth £5.3m per annum for Trent and Dove across East Staffordshire, including Burton upon Trent and Uttoxeter.

Retrofit and decarbonisation

The company presents itself as a retrofit contractor offering a turnkey approach, stating that its retrofit projects are Trustmark approved and PAS 2035/2038 compliant, with the aim of helping clients meet zero carbon targets. Decarbonisation appears as a distinct service line alongside the maintenance and fit-out work.

Clients and framework relationships

Among the relationships described are a 15-year planned improvement and major works framework with The Guinness Partnership in the South West, following what the company calls a 13-year relationship, and a reappointment to Whitbread's national refurbishment framework covering the Premier Inn estate. Novus also reports work with Aspire Housing on improvements to homes in Staffordshire and Cheshire, including replacing windows and doors in approximately 200 homes, and the delivery of a Premier Inn training centre at Lincolnshire County Council's InspireU campus as part of Whitbread's Thrive programme.

Recognition and initiatives

The company reports a RoSPA Gold Award for health and safety and recognition at the Business in the Community North West Responsible Business Impact Showcase held in Manchester on 30 April 2026. It also announced a partnership with PfP Thrive to launch the BuildHer Programme. In July 2026 it appointed Wyatt International as its PR agency to support communications across its social housing, public sector and commercial property projects in the UK.

Novus Property Solutions Ltd is headquartered at Five Towns House, Hillside Festival Way, Stoke-on-Trent. Its site includes sections on its history, values, board of directors, shareholders, memberships and accreditations, and it maintains an apprentice hub alongside its careers and vacancies pages, indicating recruitment and training activity within the business.
