The Lawns, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk

When working in an environment where the elderly are present, care and consideration to those in whose home you are working is paramount so extra communication and planning were prerequisites here.

In addition, due to the nature of the work undertaken, considerations were needed to ensure that the aesthetics and colour of insulated panels required within the bay window configurations complied with local planning authority stipulations and be in sympathy with a neighbouring building. Product design changes were also required to facilitate radiator positioning internally.

A pilot bay was arranged in a void flat, and a purpose-built polythene screen was constructed to limit the heat loss during the removal and re-fitting of the bay. This screen was hinged to allow it to move from flat to flat. Herringbone cladding above the bays, replaced like for like with “Hardy Plank” long lasting cement board.
