Retrofit Decarb Pilot Project

Location

Service

Decarbonisation

Retrofit works included the installation of PV panels, ventilation, infra-red central heating systems, double glazing and insulation.

The Victorian house – which previously comprised two flats – is at 13 Fourth Avenue, in the Queen’s Park conservation area. Whilst modernising the property, which was originally converted into flats in the 1980s, our team carefully restored original period features including the front door and railings.

What we did

Axis delivered this retrofit project including conversion and refurbishment works for Westminster City Council.

Axis has delivered planned maintenance to City of Westminster’s 21,000 properties since 2012, improving the safety, comfort and environmental performance of residents’ homes. Our contract, which has been extended twice, has included cyclical decorations and renewal works to roofs, windows, external structures and internal communal areas, as well as kitchen and bathroom and fire door replacements, solar panel installation and a ten-property deconversion programme.

Innovations, challenges, solutions

We completed our £230,000 retrofit project, which included conversion and refurbishment works to create a family home, in just four months.

To successfully complete the project, we needed specific skills from Axis, primarily under the PAS 2035 retrofit standard. We needed a retrofit assessment and retrofit co-ordination to ensure that the works are done to the standard, and then the retrofit installation and the retrofit design skills as part of the installation. We were very pleased to have all that with Axis. This project has gone fantastically. I have been so surprised and amazed by the speed of delivery (four months) and the quick responses between Axis and Westminster. We have really worked well together, from the retrofit assessment – deciding what works we need to do to complete the best sustainability measures – to the actual installation which I was incredibly impressed by.
