External insulation and improvements

Rationalised traditional construction houses

There are over 1,000 rationalised traditional construction houses across the city. We have secured The Social Housing Decarbonisation Funding. This will provide 180 council owned rationalised traditional properties with external wall insulation. We will fund other improvements that should future proof these homes for the next 30 years. This includes -

  • installation of external wall insulation
  • installation of new ventilation
  • new roofs
  • new windows and doors
