St George's Island Facade and Balcony Remediation Project New Milestone
We are proud to share an exciting update on our extensive facade and balcony remediation project at St George's Island, Manchester. As the largest Building Safety Fund-supported facade remediation project in the UK, we've reached a significant milestone, with three of the five blocks now completed, with all façade elevations and tenant balconies replaced with compliant materials. In addition to ensuring compliance, these upgrades will significantly extend the building’s lifespan, enhance energy efficiency, and create a more sustainable future for the occupants.
Homes England Recognition
This ambitious project, driven by the Building Safety Fund and supported by Homes England, the government's housing and regeneration agency, further positions Starfish Construction at the forefront of the UK's building safety and remediation sector. The project is progressing ahead of schedule, and we remain on track to deliver the completed works an impressive 10 months earlier than anticipated.
Homes England visited St George's Island twice to witness first-hand the progress and quality of works. The visits allowed us to demonstrate our robust delivery mechanisms and commitment to safety and quality. Additionally, the environmental sustainability measures incorporated into the project, aligning with our commitment to reduce carbon emissions and enhance building longevity, showcase this project as a model for excellence in future facade remediation. The positive feedback following these visits is recognition of our collective team's commitment to the project and improving the safety and living environment for the building occupants.
