Durham Retrofit

Overview

Working on behalf of Durham County Council, Tolent is currently retrofitting properties in the Chilton area of County Durham and will go on to complete sustainability improvements at more than 500 homes.

This is part of a wider scheme to enhance the energy efficiency of 1,000 homes, which is being overseen by the council and largely funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).

Work completed so far includes; PV panels installed to 25 homes, external low carbon wall insulation to 20 homes and air source heat pumps added to 65 homes.

Some homes will also benefit from new double-glazed windows as works continue over the coming months.
