Sheffield Council appointed Equans after its successful bid for Social Housing Decarbonisation Funding.
The monies were designated to significant energy efficiency improvements to 156 solid wall council homes through external wall insulation – and we’re now in full flow.
Hamilton was selected by Equans to install Wetherby Building Systems’ 110mm mineral wool with a brick slip and silicone render finish.
This initiative is not just about improving the homes themselves; it’s a testament to Sheffield Council’s commitment to creating a more sustainable and attractive living environment for its residents.
By upgrading these solid wall homes with cutting-edge insulation technology, the council is not only reducing energy consumption but also ensuring that these houses remain comfortable and affordable for their occupants for years to come.
Housing Decarbonisation Manager at Sheffield Council, Nathan Robinson, told local newspaper, The Star, that the scheme tackled some of the least energy-efficient council homes in the city to bring them up to a better standard.
Equans’ Keon Ryall, Senior Quantity Surveyor said:
Managing projects of this scale means we have to surround ourselves with trusted partners, which is why we appointed Hamilton to carry out the external wall insulation on these properties.
Their experience and professionalism means we can trust them to oversee specification and application to the highest standards.
The transformation of this community is well underway and, not only will it revitalise the look and feel of the area, but it will significantly improve energy efficiency, meaning lower bills for residents.
With Hamilton leading the charge on EWI, the project is on schedule to be completed within the required timescales.
Hamilton’s Site Manager, Steve Green, said:
These houses were in desperate need of energy efficiency upgrades and the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund is helping tenants across the UK lower their bills and live in homes to be proud of.
The team at Weatherby have, as usual, been fantastic in supplying a system solution that ticks all the boxes when it comes to aesthetics and compliance.
It is always a pleasure to work with EQUANS and together we are looking forward to seeing the end results of this important project.
