Marley - The perfect choice
Coastline Housing has worked with Marley to specify and install a full roof system at one of its social housing developments in Redruth, Cornwall. Including integrated solar PV, the retrofit project is now helping elderly residents with energy costs and has futureproofed an important local community asset.
Coastline Housing is a social housing provider with over 5,000 properties in Cornwall. The charity provides quality, affordable and accessible housing for the local population, including many residents who require additional support.
One of its key developments is Miners Court in Redruth. This is home to 64 flats, along with communal spaces, allowing older residents to lead independent lives surrounded with the support they require.
Ben Nevitte, Head of Repairs & Maintenance at Coastline Housing, explains: “Under Cornwall’s Shared Prosperity Fund, we were able to apply for and secure funding of £470,000, which meant we could tackle the planned reroof project earlier than anticipated. We made the case that by adding renewable technology, such as solar PV, we would not only give residents the opportunity to benefit from a sustainable and more cost-effective energy source at a time of cost-of-living pressures, but we would also be helping to futureproof an important development for years to come.”
