Our Value Carbon process can help you through the eco-refurbishment maze and identify the most cost effective solutions for each property. Our experts can help you plan, design, install and maintain your project throughout its life cycle.
We have installed a wide range of solutions that have significantly improved the energy performance of many different types many different types of homes. Our expertise includes improvements to the fabric and glazing of the building, products to enhance heating and energy efficiency and renewable energy generation.
Our award-winning WHISCERS™ process for internal wall insulation has revolutionised installation speeds and reduced on-site mess and inconvenience for residents, and is perfectly suited to confined sites or tower blocks, as well as for standard housing.
All of our retrofit solutions - either standalone projects or as part of wider refurbishment programmes such a Decent Homes - can be carried out with minimum disruption to residents,
We also recognise that installing eco measures in a home is only half the battle: education goes hand in hand with energy efficiency improvements, and we have worked with residents before, during and after retrofit projects to prepare them for low energy lifestyles, so that they are ready to maximise the benefits once the works are complete.
This website has been designed to help make the process of going low-carbon easier for housing providers and we hope you find it informative.
