Project Details
A new tapered roof system was installed by our roofing specialists, incorporating insulation, water barriers, and a felt membrane. This roof retrofit upgrade achieved a thermal efficiency of 0.15 U-value, meeting building regulations. Following this, our solar panel installers fitted 135 high-efficiency solar PV panels, supported by inverters and battery storage.
The new renewable energy system is designed to generate approximately 54,000 kWh of clean electricity per year. A lightweight plastic mounting system was used to reduce structural load while withstanding wind uplift forces.
Final phase included replacing decayed timber cladding and doors to the tank rooms, re-rendering and waterproofing the chimney stacks, and decorating the external surfaces for a refreshed finish. New loft hatches were refurbished for safer roof access, a lightning protection system was added, and new perimeter guard rails were installed to meet modern safety standards. Rooftop cables were organised into trays and redundant satellite dishes removed, leaving the roof neat, complaint, and fully optimised for long-term performance.
Through collaborative planning and consistent communication between Axis and Westminster City Council, the project was delivered smoothly on schedule and within budget, combining both functional upgrades and aesthetic improvements.

Resident Care
Our team held biweekly meetings with Westminster City Council to coordinate resident care. Residents received key information through letters and a monthly newsletter. Additionally, our RLO were regularly engaged with residents by phone, email and in-person meetings.
Corporate Social Responsibility
As part of our commitment to giving back to the local community, we undertook a garden clean up for residents and reseeded the green areas where our site cabins had been positioned, helping to restore and improve shared outdoor spaces. This reflects our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility and leaving neighbourhoods in better condition for residents.
