We aim to improve energy efficiency and minimise the
environmental impact of existing property stock.
This will enable our clients to both save money on
rising fuel
costs and reduce their carbon footprint.
As the Building
Research Establishment points out
"Refurbishment can improve
the energy performance of thousands of homes and avoid the
wholesale waste of resources that comes about when swathes of
older housing are cleared to make way for new. Refurbishment
also preserves the character of our towns and cities, making
them interesting places in which to live.
Although the UK has the oldest
housing stock in the developed world, refurbishment is still
regarded as the Cinderella of the housing industry and the poor
relation to new build. Things need to change, as upgrading the
existing stock brings homes back on to the market and is a sound
and sustainable answer to the housing shortage."
