Gentoo are a housing association that provide homes for over 60,000 people living in Sunderland. They are a values-driven organisation and are dedicated to supporting their tenants, residents and communities in leading the best possible lives.
We collaborated with Gentoo on refurbishing their Roseberry Court retirement housing scheme. They were in need of our services to renovate and furnish their communal living area, giving their tenants a beautiful new area to meet. We began our process by consulting with their support manager and residents to gain insight of their desired layout and aesthetic for the space. Providing an interior design service, we provided a selection of mood boards, allowing their theme to be determined. We carefully selected quality flooring and specified inspired colours for feature walls in the communal lounge and corridors. We completed the look by adding interesting artwork and accessories to compliment.
The team at Roseberry Court felt that the consultation was thorough and they were impressed by Buckingham Interior’s ability to provide a flexible service. The scheme needed to adjust their delivery dates because of delays due to COVID-19 and when we were able to go ahead with installations, they felt our drivers were both helpful and professional.
Being a part of FRC Group, we were able to return their previous furniture to our warehouse for re-use or recycling – giving the scheme a
sustainable outcome for their pre-loved items.
Roseberry Court rated the quality of our products, sales and ordering processes and delivery, all excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Gentoo on this project and are so pleased that they are delighted with the results.
