Sorry for the pause over Christmas and the New Year. I trust everyone had a nice and relaxing time…
Some good news for Hackney to kick off the new decade:
The importance of energy efficiency in buildings has been realised by Hackney Homes ahead of their £2.9 million programme of insulation work in east London.
Having secured a grant from the Homes and Communities Agency, the organisation, which managed council properties in the London borough, has appointed Lovell to carry out the work on its range of flats.
Cavity wall insulation will be installed on approximately 50 blocks of flats, with the work expected to have been completed in June.
Hackney Homes’ director of property services Gary Penticost said he is “pleased” to be working alongside Lovell on what he called an “important programme”.
“Improving insulation in our harder to treat cavity walls will give our tenants not only better insulated homes, but homes that are cheaper to heat,” he commented.
London Energy Efficiency is also involved in the scheme, Lovell confirmed.
Lovell is also involved in a major housing improvement scheme in Derbyshire, with a number of apprentices being given the opportunity to work on the scheme.
