Inside Housing Development Awards 2024 Finalists

We are delighted to have been shortlisted for the Inside Housing Development Awards 2024 within the categories, Best Healthy Homes and Best Partnership.

Following early retrofit projects, we have become a long-term partner for retrofit to the London Borough of Waltham Forest, including for the large-scale multi-disciplinary retrofit at Southfield Court, which was also nominated as a finalist for the Unlock Net Zero Awards 2024.

The project was for an 40-flat hostel spanning four floors with vulnerable residents in situ. Energy efficiency measures included External Wall Insulation (EWI), roof insulation, new windows and doors, solar PV installations, commercial community heating via air source heat pumps (ASHP) and sprinkler systems, with funding applications managed by Aston Group for PAS2030/2035 compliance.

This retrofitting project has been previously recognised, being nominated for the Unlock Net Zero Awards 2024. When residents are in situ, it presents many challenges added to the fact that the project had two funding streams, SHDF Wave 1 and COF with tight deadlines.

It has been a huge success for the client and we hope it has improved the lives of the people living there.
