Lovell has completed a £1.5 million programme to reduce carbon emissions and make environmental improvements to 212 Whitefriars Housing homes in Henley Green, Coventry.

The company also completed work worth £1 million on a further 110 private homes in the area, which were not on the Whitefriars Housing programme. The owner-occupiers of these homes enjoyed over £10,000 worth of energy improvement works without spending a penny.


The energy-saving improvements made by Lovell included external wall insulation, new central heating systems, replacing old inefficient boilers with new modern gas boilers and central heating systems, replacing windows with A rated double glazing, and topping up loft insulation.

Lovell calculates that the work should reduce the housing stock lifetime carbon emissions by nearly 60,000 tonnes of CO2.

All residents who benefited from these changes will see reduced fuel bills, improved thermal comfort, a possible increase in the value of their homes – as well as enjoying the overall improved aesthetic appearance of the estate.
