Case Study
Bovingdon Rd
External Wall Insulation & associated works to 77 properties
Overview
This project involved the refurbishment of 77 residential homes of non-traditional concrete panel construction, which were semi-detached properties. The objective was to carry out extensive exterior renovation and some minor internal alterations to bring them up to current building regulation standards and improve thermal efficiency. Installing external wall insulation would help to reduce heat loss through the fabric of the building along with loft insulation through the roof.
Key elements of the project included external wall insulation, replacement roofs, replacement windows & doors, loft insulation, replacement boilers and associated electrical alterations and minor works.
How We Helped
We were able to offer a systematic turnkey solution to include full project management, installation and quality assurance. Our approach ensured the restrictions due to access were overcome without disruption to the occupants,
Preparation work included bat surveys which identified bats were not present. Asbestos surveys were carried out throughout the properties which identified Asbestos was present within the lofts. A licensed Asbestos Removal company were appointed, detailed risk assessments and method statements were prepared. The necessary removal works were then carried out with minimal disruption to the occupants.
Additional energy efficiency measures included replacement of windows & doors and loft insulation works.
Results
This project demonstrated just how effective Zero Carbon Group Limited can be when it comes to bringing the right skills together to complete a large scale, complex project of this nature.
Strategic planning, which included making sure works were carried out in the correct sequence and to the required standard, as well as commencing the project at the right time of the year, meant this was a successful, streamlined and cost-effective scheme.
