Refurbishment works underway at Jardine Crescent

The homes will be fitted with a new insulated roof system, new double-glazed windows and doors, ventilation will be brought up to modern standards, and a curtain wall system – an external covering which protects the interior of the building – will be installed.

The work is being part funded thanks to a £460,000 grant from the Warm Homes Social Housing Fund programme.

We’re working with energy and regeneration expert Equans – who will carry out the work, Retrofit Assessor and Coordinator Crawford, Chartered Surveyors Insight Surveyors and Co and Retrofit Designer Property Technics.

Our Director of Asset Management Bridget Guilfoyle said: “We’re pleased to be upgrading homes at Jardine Crescent and making them more energy efficient.

“Works to improve the homes will be in keeping with the building’s original design.  It’s important we do this as these buildings are noted by the Royal Institute of British Architects gallery as an example of the modernist movement and were designed by Arthur Ling who is a notable city architect within Coventry’s post war redevelopment.

“We hope our customers feel the benefit of this work once it is completed.”

Chris Caffrey, Operations Director, at Equans said: “The improvements to these properties will help to modernise the area – bringing a fresh new look to the blocks whilst upholding their character.

“The work will also help to keep occupants’ energy bills low and we’re pleased to be playing a part in helping to make homes more affordable and comfortable to live in.”

The work is due to be finished in December.
