SBS recently received video footage from its latest aerial survey of Plas Madoc in North Wales, where it is delivering a large re-roofing and external wall insulation project for Wrexham County Borough Council.
Work is now well advanced, with many properties now complete, so this survey gave us the chance to document the various improvements. Comparing the footage with the video we took in February, the extent of the finished works is very clear.
In April, we announced that we had won a new Cheltenham Borough Council contract, entitled 'External Renovation & Improvement of Cornish Type Properties.' The scheme has now started and is expected to continue until approaching the end of the year.
SBS and Herefordshire Housing have an excellent working relationship that dates back to 2013. In April, we reported that we were busy delivering a 2-phase external wall insulation scheme in Redhill. Now, in July 2019, we have begun a new phase involving the installation of solid wall insulation to bungalows, houses and sheds.
Back in February, we announced that we had helped Rykneld Homes to celebrate the handover of its thousandth property to be fitted with external wall insulation. We have since completed that phase of works, which came to a successful conclusion in March. Working in the Grassmoor area, we installed EWI to a total of 172 REEMA properties.
SBS has a long history of collaboration with Chesterfield Borough Council. This has resulted in energy efficiency improvements to many hundreds of homes within the borough, and our work for the council has been nominated for a number of awards.
In February 2019, SBS began enabling works on a new site in Redcar, in preparation for installing external wall insulation (EWI) to 92 occupied homes. It is acting on behalf of Beyond Housing, following a successful competitive tender.
Later in the year, SBS will begin a second phase of works, involving an additional 98 properties in nearby Overfield. The two phases are expected to be completed within nine months. The project is worth a total of approximately £1.1 million.
SBS recently commissioned an aerial photographic / video shoot of its insulation and re-roofing work at Plas Madoc in Wrexham. The results are now back and we're showing some of the results here.
As we reported in a previous post, the £2.1M scheme involves 220 occupied properties. Phase 2 began in September 2018 and is scheduled to continue until February 2020. The work is being carried out as part of Wrexham County Borough Council's Re-roofing and Group Repairs Framework.
The Vale of Glamorgan Council has selected Sustainable Building Services (UK) Limited to deliver a multifaceted refurbishment and energy efficiency project involving 76 occupied properties.
The apartments are located within 14 residential blocks in Barry, South Wales.
The absence of cavity walls has made thermal performance an important priority. Consequently, a key aspect of the £920,000 scheme will be the design and installation of an appropriate solid wall insulation system.
Last year, Sustainable Building Services (UK) Ltd earned itself a mention in a major governmental report into energy efficiency measures in the social housing sector. Now, just less than 12 months later, SBS has again featured as an exemplar of industry best practice.
Public sector procurement organisation Efficiency East Midlands has named Sustainable Building Services (UK) Limited as its number one ranked supplier on both lots of its new four-year solid wall insulation framework.
