People and the communities in which they live.

They are right at the top of our agenda when it comes to the work we do.

When it comes to delivering a whole-house, regeneration programme we aim to achieve both short and long term benefits to the community involved.

The refurbishment work we do helps individuals, couple and families, but just as importantly helps enrich the areas as a whole. By delivering award-winning retrofit solutions we can help make an area more desirable to live in, while at the same time achieving important cost savings to residents by maximising energy efficiency and cutting carbon use.

And while our whole-house solution is extremely thorough, the work can be done with minimal disruption to a household’s daily life.

Serving people and communities. That's what we do. By embracing innovation and sustainability, we are helping shape a more energy efficient future for the UK, in tandem with our commitment to improving the health, comfort and wellbeing of the population.

Together, we can future-proof properties and help communities thrive.

To reduce both your energy costs and carbon footprint, the most effective method for minimising heat loss, particularly in an older house, is to install insulation.

Quality insulation can help cut your bills – and achieve a warm, inviting and cosy home. It can:

🏠 Act as a barrier that regulates indoor temperature, by preventing heat loss during colder months as well as heat gain on warmer days

🏠 Contribute significantly to a healthier, happier indoor environment

🏠 Lead to lower energy consumption and a decrease in utility bills

🏠 Play a pivotal role in noise reduction

🏠 Can help boost a resident’s mental health and wellbeing, reducing stress and anxiety levels

➡️ As the UK attempts to find ways to reach its 2050 net zero target, retrofitting existing buildings is no longer just optional, it is absolutely essential.

Insulation helps keep your home warm when it is cold outside, and cool when the weather is hot.

Insulation can also maintain a more consistent indoor temperature by effectively managing solar heat gain, reducing the need for heating and cooling systems to be constantly working.

High-quality insulation materials minimise heat transfer between the outside environment and the interior of your home. This means that during the summer, insulation helps to keep the heat out, while in the winter, it keeps the warmth in.

An advanced resin system that can be used to tint and recreate the hue of traditional brickwork.

That's ArtBrick.

Artbrick can provide any colour and texture, with long-term durability, it eliminates efflorescence which is common to brick render systems, and it allows limitless aesthetic choice for blending the appearance of projects to their surroundings and compliance with planning requirements.

Artbrick increases the options available to both new build and refurbishment projects that might otherwise encounter planning issues.

It is a time and cost effective brick façade solution that can be installed without the requirement for pre-made brick slips or corner brick slips.

And as the UK's leading licensed installer of ArtBrick, Westdale has the expertise to apply specialist finishes to your property.

The leader of Broxtowe Borough Council, Councillor Milan Radulovic MBE, has praised the work done by Westdale North on houses in Princes Street, Eastwood, Nottinghamshire.

The properties, within a conservation area, have been fitted with new external wall insulation and an internal ventilation system to improve their energy efficiency, while maintaining the original look of the buildings.

Funding for the project was secured from the Government's Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund wave 2.1, and matched by Broxtowe Borough Council.

The insulation will help to reduce heat loss in the Eastwood homes, improving EPC ratings and helping to reduce energy bills in the winter months. On average, each home has been projected to save 40% on their energy bills.

Mr Radoluvic said: " said, “The past few years have seen huge increases in energy bills across the country, and so I’m pleased to be able ease some of that pressure with this project in Eastwood. The insulation has also been completed to a high standard with regards to preserving the original look of the houses."

There are old (and cold) houses wherever you look across the North of England.

Indeed, almost 25% of the North’s homes were built before 1919, while over 50% of all the North’s houses are still rated below the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Band C.

Those properties classed as ‘fuel-poor households’ need help. There is clearly much work to be done in order to deliver the necessary energy efficient upgrades that will sustain the North and its people for the years ahead.

And it is not merely about raising the EPC rating. It needs to go beyond that - and ensuring that someone's home is properly insulated, for the long term.

Rest assured, many of those old and cold properties can be transformed, if taken on the basis of a whole-house approach. They can be made energy efficient, made future-proof, turned into quality, inviting living spaces.

Saving such properties, refurbishing them, giving them a new lease of life, is something Westdale North are committed to, for the benefit of all.

Solar electricity panels, known as photovoltaics (PV), stores the energy from the sun and converts it into electricity that you can use in your home.

By installing solar panels, you can generate your own renewable electricity, which in turn enables you to receive payments for extra energy you generate but do not use.

Unshaded, south facing roofs are ideal for maximum electrical output. However, solar panels will generate even if they are not facing south, it just won’t be as much.

Solar panels give you guaranteed power when the sun is shining – providing a consistent, stable form of generation throughout the day. After they’ve been installed, solar panels need little to no maintenance – just occasional cleaning to keep them clear of dirt and debris.

Battery storage creates the opportunity to save excess energy gathered from the solar panels, enabling homeowners to pay for cheap electricity at night while using the stored energy during the day.
