Equans has been awarded a contract with London Borough of Haringey to lead a major retrofit project on the Coldfall Estate.
Haringey’s homes account for around half of the borough’s carbon footprint, and this is the reason why the council has committed to retrofitting around 15,000 council homes as part of its pledge to make Haringey net zero by 2041.
The terraced houses on the Coldfall Estate, which are owned by Haringey Council, will now receive measures, including new windows and doors and external wall insulation, to support heat retention and reduce energy consumption.
The project has been boosted by a cash injection from the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (now known as the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund) Wave 2.2, and the upgrades will bring the homes to at least EPC Band C.
Residents were consulted on the works, including providing input on finishes, and there was resounding supporting for the project, which will commence over the coming weeks.
Rob Young, Regional Managing Director, Equans UK & Ireland, said: “This is precisely the kind of project that the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund was implemented for. Hundreds of homes that are hard to heat, putting vulnerable tenants at risk of fuel poverty – will now be retrofitted with the best measures; creating warmer, safer and more affordable housing.
“We have led the way in securing and delivering work through the fund and we are proud that London Borough of Haringey has put their faith in us to deliver this vital work on the Coldfall Estate. We have extensive experience in this remit, particularly delivering work with residents in occupation, and we look forward to working with the council and their tenants, to bring these homes up to standard and ultimately change lives.”

Building Management Systems (BMS) have long been used to control the heart of a building – monitoring and controlling its essential systems such as lighting, ventilation, heating and air conditioning. Facilities Managers want the best visibility to help detect and deal with concerns before they become issues.
This webinar brings together the experts from energy network provider, E.ON along with FM thought leaders to discuss moving from a reactive service to a proactive service. By identifying energy issues early and automatically, instead of occupants reporting issues, then potential faults can be identified early and remedied. The BMS does this before the problem occurs by using smart alerting and EMC support services.
Panel:
- Sara Bean: Editor FMJ (Facilities Management Journal)
- Nick Westlake: Energy and Service Delivery Manager at E.ON Control Solutions
- Sunil Shah, the author of IWFM’s Energy Management Good Practice Guide and MD of Acclaro Advisory
- David Cermak, Regional Facilities Manager for David Lloyd Clubs
