In January 2020, the British Board of Agrément’s audit and inspection team certified that SBS had been awarded the status of a TrustMark Registered Firm.
The TrustMark is a government-endorsed standard that is designed to protect consumers by covering the work they commission in or around their homes.
In December 2019, CHIC (Central Housing Investment Consortium) announced that it had appointed SBS as one of the contractors on its ‘Procurement of Internal and External Building Works Framework.’
Principally, the framework covers planned works for homes across the Midlands, the South and South Wales, although some wider work may be required because some CHIC clients operate nationally.
On 23rd December 2019, Plus Dane Housing announced its decision to appoint SBS to deliver Lot 2 of its Framework Agreement for Sheltered Scheme Refurbishment Works.
Due to start before March 2020, the programme will last between 12 and 18 months, and will entail the refurbishment of sheltered accommodation properties. Plus Dane Housing manages 11 such properties in all, but these will be split into three lots, two of which will be in Merseyside and one in Cheshire.
In December 2019, Citizen Housing (formerly West Midlands Housing) confirmed that Sustainable Building Services (SBS) had been awarded a new contract involving the installation of external wall insulation and associated works to 84 occupied properties in Coventry.
Due to start in February, the 6-month project was put out on open tender, and SBS won on the basis of quality and price.
In November 2019, social housing provider Magenta Living awarded a new external wall insulation contract to Sustainable Building Services (UK) Ltd (SBS).
Scheduled to start in January 2020, the work will entail installing EWI to approximately 84 occupied properties in the Bromborough area of Wirral.
The contract is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund, which required that the contract should deliver energy efficiency improvements as well as an important element of innovation.
