We adopted an innovative strategy on this contract by integrating newly approved roofline systems with the installation of external wall insulation (EWI). These roofline closure systems enabled the safeguarding of the EWI system through the use of metal trims, providing a durable and enduring solution without the need for extended rooflines.

Working at scale and upgrading properties scattered throughout the Essex region has presented a challenge. Nevertheless, we tackled this by conducting thorough planning, meticulously mapping out locations and allocating tasks to our supply chain accordingly, all while minimising disruption to the local communities.

We hosted monthly customer drop-in sessions, providing an opportunity for active collaboration with vulnerable residents and also provide support to residents to minimise heating demands and reduce energy usage.

Upon completion of the works, we delivered energy-efficient, low-carbon hampers to all residents within the properties, further promoting sustainable living practices and enhancing the well-being of the community.

Several air source heat pump have been installed, requiring new heating pipework and the replacement of old storage heaters with new radiators specifically designed to suit the residents’ needs. This has led to a notable improvement in the thermal comfort of the properties and a decrease in their energy expenses.
