Willmott Dixon to deliver Cheadle College redevelopment
Nearly £90m of higher education work secured in two weeks
Tower block refurb will save millions in fuel costs
Over a fifth of households are still blighted by fuel
poverty, where over 10 per cent of income is spent on all fuel use. This is now being urgently addressed in some
cities like Oxford City Council, which is investing in a multi-million pound
renewal programme to support thousands of residents living in five 1960s era tower
blocks.
The council have deployed our energy saving expertise to refurbish the five tower blocks, where our team are sensitively delivering new over-cladding and insulation, replacing windows, adding new heating systems and upgrading the communal electrics.

ES MD Rob Lambe: “Residents are very on board with the scheme, keen to get work started and to live in warmer, healthier flats. Our CCOs have worked closely to deal with any queries they had.
“When this is completed, it will extend the life of the flats by a minimum of 30 years as well as improve resident lives by reducing heat loss, cutting fuel bills and reducing the fire risk. It shows how councils like Oxford are tackling their older stock to improve the lives of thousands of people.”
