Coalo
Hounslow Council is reviewing its cleaning services contract with Coalo and assessing the financial performance of its parent company, Lampton Group.
Hounslow Council is reviewing its Buildings Cleaning Services contract with Coalo, a subsidiary of the Lampton Group, with an outline business case discussed in December 2025. This review occurs as the Lampton Group faced scrutiny in November 2025 over accumulated losses exceeding £15 million since 2013, with its financial and operational performance reviewed by the Shareholder Committee in July 2026.
Coalo also collaborates with Hounslow Council on a programme to bring empty properties back into use, aiming to increase available housing and revenue, as heard by the Shareholder Committee in September 2025. The company undertakes repairs to council-owned housing, with the council preparing for Awaab's Law on housing repairs, effective October 2025.
