NHIC Award
For the last 15 years Arcon have been undertaking major repair schemes on its new build stock. Typically works carried out have included uPVC double glazed windows, high security entrance doors, replacement kitchens and bathrooms, replacement central heating boilers, insulation and energy efficiency works. Experience gained over the years closely coupled with tenant consultation has helped us improve the content and effectiveness of our schemes year on year.
The last scheme completed in September 2009 was at Heatley Road, Milnrow, Rochdale. This scheme not only included previously mentioned works but incorporated a higher level of insulation and energy saving works along with increased security measures. Environmental issues were also addressed to neatly accommodate additional refuse and recycling containers introduced by the local authority.
Appearing to satisfy the criteria for a national competition run by the National Home Improvement Council, the scheme was entered and we were delighted to receive the runners’ up award. Much work has gone into the major repair schemes over many years and it was gratifying to receive national recognition for its work.
