The 12 month project involved the refurbishment of 106 properties in Holloway Fields, and Thistley Fields housing estates in the Coundon area of the city.

 

The properties were originally built in 1945, and were meant to have been two storey houses but due to material shortages after the war they were adapted into bungalows. During the early 1970's the homes were modernised to feature a pitched tiled roof with fascias, soffits and shiplap boarding. Refurbishment was again required last year, when the timber roofline components began to rot after the paintwork began to peel.

 

The bungalows were fitted with white Swish cellular PVC Jumbo fascia boards, Polo ventilated soffit boards and shiplap profile cladding which complemented the existing style of the roof.

 

The Housing Association decided to specify Swish Building Products because of the maintenance free benefits of its range of products and the long term cost saving that would follow. Specifiers at the Housing Association were also impressed by the high levels of customer service and unique Swish 15 year product guarantee.

 

The refurbishment is part of partnership project involving Whitefriars Housing Group, Lovells and approved sub contractors.
