Weber concrete repair system key to Clapham Park renovations
Clapham Park in Lambeth, South London is a residential area of more than 3000 homes in 50 multi-storey blocks, developed mainly by London County Council in the 1920s and later by the Greater London Council and Lambeth Council. In more recent times the Estate has been selected as a pilot scheme for the New Deal for Communities with multi-million pound investment planned by the London Borough of Lambeth. In 2006 the properties were transferred to the control of Clapham Park Homes, the new community led housing association which is part of the Metropolitan Housing Partnership, and regeneration of the properties and community has now commenced.
Funding options for social housing schemes
Upgrading solid wall properties with external wall insulation systems has been progressing under the Decent Homes programme and this is likely to continue to the end of the initiative. Local authorities, RSLs and ALMOs have experienced the benefits of using EWI systems to provide habitable accommodation with improved degrees of thermal comfort and more attractive and weatherproof exteriors. Other Government initiatives, managed through the energy suppliers, such as EEC and CERT have concentrated upon cavity and loft insulation whereas the recently announced CESP programme is targeted at the more difficult measures such as solid wall insulation. Both social and private landlords may therefore be eligible for funding support via these schemes
External wall insulation for refurbishment
Weber has released a new guide to the thermal improvement, external redecoration and concrete repair of solid wall and non-traditional buildings. System-built non-traditional or traditional brick construction, low or high rise – Weber has a rich background of providing external wall insulation systems to refurbishment projects going back over 30 years (under its previous name of Eglinton).
weber.therm XP regenerates Goole
An imaginative property regeneration scheme called “Changing Streets” has been established by East Riding of Yorkshire Council (EYRC) and is dramatically improving a great swathe of privately owned housing in Goole. By funding complete street renovations the visual aesthetics of the area are vastly improved over the more usual “pepper pot” decisions on individual properties. Homes in the project required refreshed facades and the opportunity has been taken to up-grade the thermal insulation at the same time with the weber.therm XP external wall insulation (EWI) system.
Flooring solution is big time saver
