Great news for more of our tenants! WSHA have secured additional funding to extend our insulation and ventilation programme across more of our pre-1919 tenement homes.

Delivered in partnership with Union technical Services the insulation and ventilation works involve injecting insulation into suitable wall cavities from inside the home, together with ventilation improvements where required.

The previous phase of this programme had delivered improvements to 265 homes and secured more than £1.45 million in
funding with excellent feedback from customers. One tenant living in a top floor flat reported that her home now retains heat for much longer after the heating is switched off. Before the insulation was installed, she needed her heating on almost constantly, but now only needs it a few hours each day. Other tenants have reported warmer rooms, reduced heating use and an excellent standard of finish following the work.

*We have a relatively short window to complete the insulation works, with all funded installations required to be completed by 5 January 2027.*

If your home is eligible, Union Technical Services will contact you directly to arrange a survey. If you are contacted, please respond as soon as possible so your home can be assessed and, if suitable, the works can be completed within the funding period.

If you have any questions, please contact WHSA Customer Service in a first instance on 0141 550 5600 or [email protected].
