East Riding of Yorkshire Council Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programme

The objective was to future-proof the homes by improving energy performance, reducing emissions and lowering tenant energy bill, while delivering a durable attractive scheme

Partnering with Sandtoft wienerberger, East Riding chose to install a complete roof system including battens, clips, tiles (Double Pantile Rustic), fittings and accessories, which consequently qualified them for the wienerberger design guarantee ‘RoofSpec’ offering 15 years of performance assurance and a single point of accountability for the entire system. Midway through, the specification was extended to incorporate solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. Thanks to strong collaboration and effective planning, the additional works were delivered without delays or cost impact. 

With a positive client (East Riding of Yorkshire Council) and happy tenants, the scheme was a job well done for the wienerberger Sales manager responsible for the site.

‘I feel very proud to be involved in this project. Not only are we assisting East Riding Council to get these homes up to EPC C, allowing them to meet the future home standards. I live locally and we produce a lot of these tiles locally  - that matters’. — Roof Area Sales Manager wienerberger, Jayne Scotland 

This project is a clear example of what can be achieved through collaboration, expertise and integrated delivery. By partnering with Sandtoft wienerberger and engaging skilled local contractors, East Riding of Yorkshire Council has successfully upgraded its housing stock, supported its sustainability goals and delivered genuine benefits for the community.
