Seacroft is an outer-city township consisting mainly of council housing covering an extensive area of east Leeds, West Yorkshire
It is home to one of the largest council estates in the country, which is where Hamilton carried out a huge project to insulate 300 houses in the remarkable timeframe of just 30 weeks.
With money from the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund and in partnership with main contractor Equans and Leeds City Council, we applied Wetherby Building Systems’ 100mm mineral wool insulation with a silicone finish to the properties.
The project started as 150 houses but additional funding was secured to work on a further 150 and teams from all parties worked tirelessly to ensure it was a resounding success.
Trusted system supplier, Wetherby Building Systems, provided us with their top-quality WBS Stone Wool Silicone Render System throughout the project.
The entire development adhered to the PAS 2030 standards, ensuring energy efficiency and environmental friendliness.
James Dawson, who is Commercial Manager at Equans, said: “The Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund isn’t just about reducing carbon footprint; it’s about making homes healthier, more comfortable and more affordable for social housing tenants.
This was a fast-paced project and we needed to work with suppliers we know we can trust.
We’ve partnered with Hamilton on sites across the country and we know that they always deliver first class results that meet tight deadlines.
From specifying the best materials through to completion, the team are knowledgeable, professional and always great to work with.
Now, 300 families have houses to be proud of and they will all benefit from energy and money savings for years to come.
Steve Green, Site Manager at Hamilton, said: “300 houses in 30 weeks is no mean feat and we had to make sure that everything ran like clockwork.
With longstanding relationships with main contractors such as Equans and suppliers like Wetherby, we know that we can rely on everyone around us to play their part in delivering large scale projects.
The results really do speak for themselves and It was wonderful to be able to contribute to the development of the Seacroft community.
