Next phase of energy efficiency improvement work begins
07 August 2025
Work has started to improve the energy efficiency of around 2,000 of our homes as part of the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund.
We’re set to invest around £41 million in energy efficiency improvement measures in areas such as Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Lincolnshire.
Funding for the works has been secured as part of the government’s Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund and we’ve match funded it.
Energy efficiency improvement measures such as internal, external and cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, new doors and windows and low carbon heating upgrades could be installed in the homes to bring them up to an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C.
Engagement events have been held for residents who live in the homes which are set to benefit from the work and energy efficiency assessments have been carried out on the properties.
Work is set to begin imminently and Fallon Warren, Head of Environment and Sustainability, said she’s excited for the project to get underway.
She added: “Improving the sustainability and energy efficiency of the homes we own and manage is important to us, as we know this can benefit the health and wellbeing of our customers.
“This is a major project for Amplius and follows on from the success of our wave 2.1 project in which we improved more than 700 homes.
We know how important it is to engage our customers and make sure they’re comfortable with the work being done and I’m pleased with the response we’ve had from them so far. A lot of hard work has been done behind the scenes to get to this stage, so I’m really excited to see work begin and for our customers to experience the benefits a warmer and more energy efficient home has for them.”
Morgan Sindall Property Services and Lovell Renew will be carrying out the work on our behalf.
Carl Yale, Refurbishment Director for Lovell in the Midlands, said: “The benefits for residents when improving the energy efficiency of their homes are clear.
“Our work makes people's homes better, safer, warmer and healthier. Our people focused service puts residents at the heart of everything we do.
“Providing homes that are fit for the future, better for the environment and improvements that deliver quality housing stock is key to our work here at Lovell.
“Working in partnership with Amplius to deliver this work, with funding from the government’s Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund, this work sets us on a new path of a continued journey delivering more quality housing improvements.”
Mustafa Mustafa, Decarbonisation Director at Morgan Sindall Property Services, added: “We’re delighted to be continuing our successful partnership with Amplius, supporting them with their net zero strategy, whilst also creating healthier, greener homes.
“Our collaboration for the wave 2.1 project allowed us to design and deliver the best possible measures for each home, placing residents at the heart of every decision, delivering real impact.
“Our experienced resident liaison teams are excited to be part of the next phase of the project and have been working hard to ensure that residents understand the purpose and benefits of the works to get to this point of the project.”
