Contract Value

Circa £600k

Project Description

We are currently on-site with this project in Stamford Brook. It is a total retrofit and refurbishment in a conservation area with sash windows at the front elevation. A large basement is also being added. Due to planning constraints we are fitting internal insulation to the front elevation and external to the rear. A variety of insulation materials and thermal isolation techniques are being employed.

This is our third project with bere:architects who are well-known Passivhaus architects. We are grateful to have an open and fruitful collaborative relationship with them. We will shortly be starting a another project for Bere in Hammersmith and one in Oxford.

“We’re expecting a dramatic reduction in costs. We now know how much energy we’ve used (in March) and we rarely have the heating on compared to this time last year in our old house.”

– Toni M

“All the onsite employees were polite and meticulously tidy, doing their very best to fit in around us.”
