Ventilation upgrades to match the improved airtightness
Heating: heat pumps, controls and emitters where specified
Resident liaison through a disruptive programme

How do we deliver it?

We do not treat a measure in isolation. If the design adds insulation and airtightness, we make sure the ventilation upgrade is in the same programme, because condensation is the most common retrofit failure.

Which rules apply in Liverpool?

Replacement windows, heating systems and some electrical work are controlled under the Building Regulations. In higher-risk buildings (18 metres or 7 storeys and above, with two or more homes), building work needs Building Safety Regulator approval before it starts unless it is exempt.
