Stockwood Energy Efficiency Refurbishment Project

Bristol City Leap is leading a refurbishment project for over 100 flats in Stockwood to improve the energy efficiency for residents. This is part of a wider
project, working on behalf of Bristol City Council, to improve the sustainability and comfort of social housing in the city.

The work aims to improve insulation in the buildings, helping to keep them warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, which can help lower
energy bills. It will also improve ventilation in the flats to maintain healthy air quality and reduce dampness. The work is phased across approximately 100
flats and is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

What energy efficiency work is being delivered?

We specialise in energy efficiency solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of each home and building. Below is a selection of measures we may install, depending on what’s most suitable for the property.

These works not only contribute to a more sustainable Bristol but also deliver immediate benefits for residents. The improvements will lead to significant reductions in energy consumption, lower heating costs, and a more comfortable living space, while also enhancing the appearance of the housing.

uPVC Windows

All flats and communal areas are fitted with new, high-performance uPVC windows. These windows provide greater security, reduce noise, and improve energy efficiency by eliminating draughts.

Improved Ventilation

Enhanced ventilation systems are installed in the flats to improve indoor air quality and reduce issues related to dampness and mould, making homes healthier for residents.

New Front Doors

Each property is fitted with a brand-new front door, improving security and insulation. The new doors enhance the overall look of the building.

External Wall Insulation and Finishes

A new layer of insulation is added to the building’s exterior, ensuring that homes stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The external walls have also been given a fresh finish, improving both the aesthetic and weather resistance.

Roof and Loft Insulation

A new roof is installed to address leaks and improve insulation. Additional loft insulation is added to ensure heat is retained, creating a more comfortable living environment and further lowering energy costs.

Cavity Wall Insulation

Gaps in the building’s walls are filled with insulation, reducing heat loss and helping tenants save on heating bills.

Here are the steps we follow in the retrofit process.

Retrofit assessment, A retrofit assessment is a detailed survey of your home that typically lasts 1-2 hours. The information helps us decide which improvements would be best for your home. Retrofit coordination, During the Retrofit Coordination stage, a retrofit designer will create a Design Plan for your installation, including any necessary repairs and ventilation. Installation, We will then move forward with the installation process. Although timelines can vary, our goal is to give residents a clear and realistic timeframe, so you can plan accordingly. Monitoring, Once all work is complete, we will invite you to fill out a questionnaire to ensure your satisfaction with the installation. This will also allow you to share your thoughts and feedback on your experience.
