We wanted to make our homes: Warmer Cheaper to run

More energy efficient

The overall aim is to reduce fuel poverty.

The properties targeted had energy efficient EPC ratings of ‘D’ and below. A ‘fabric first’ approach was taken, where we focus on insulating and ventilating the properties first, which reduces the chance of damp and mould.

We’ve responded to the sector wide challenges of Damp and Mould by creating a dedicated damp response team, a damp app for inspectors, customer communications to educate and advise and we’ve completed a full and thorough review of cases.

Ensuring our homes and communities are places where people feel safe and proud
