United Living Group has bought social housing property services contractor Pilon.

Established 20 years ago, Pilon specialises in planned maintenance, compliance and refurbishment of assets owned and managed by social housing providers.

The firm, which turned over nearly £40m last year generating a £2m profit, operates across London, the South East and Midlands and is currently contracted with eight of the G15 housing associations.

PiLON will continue to operate independently, complementing United Living’s existing property services business and enhancing the capability and capacity of United Living to support its customers.

Neil Armstrong, chairman and CEO of United Living Group, said: “This acquisition will broaden and deepen our support to the regulated affordable housing community, enabling us to accelerate the provision of safe, high quality, energy efficient housing stock, in long-term partnership with our customers.”

Vlad Nedelcu, managing director of Pilon, said: “This partnership represents a significant milestone for us. With United Living’s support, PiLON will continue to thrive and deliver the innovative and safe solutions that clients and partners expect from us.”
