Working with E.on Energy

We're targeting homes with the 'worst' energy efficiency ratings first. Our overall target is to make sure all our homes on this estate have an energy efficiency 'band C'.

Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund

We'll be improving 300 homes using the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund Wave 2 - this is a pot of money we've been awarded by the government to improve energy efficiency. 

• The Trust awarded £2.5million to help futureproof homes and bring down bills

Improving your insulation

We're focusing on improving insulation with measures like:

• cavity wall insulation (removing old insulation  and refilling your walls with a modern product)
• loft insulation (increasing the depth of any existing insulation or installing it in full if there isn't any)
• underfloor insulation (where it's technically possible, we are looking to insulate underneath any suspended timber ground floor)
• improve ventilation (this includes: replacing old or broken extract ventilation fans, making sure you have window trickle vents are that are up to standard and functional, and your internal doors have a small undercut to make sure you have airflow through your home).

Not been contacted?

Your home might already be at 'band C' or above. This doesn't mean that we won't need to do work to improve your home in the next couple of years though - we need to wait and see what new standards are approved by the government.
