Abdon Avenue Retrofit: Denbigh Court Block Completed

We’re proud to share that the first of 32 blocks at Abdon Avenue, Birmingham has now been successfully completed and handed over by our client, Fortem, marking a key milestone in this ambitious retrofit programme. The completed block, Denbigh Court, is a 3 storey, residential block and comprises 6 flats in total consisting of 2 flats per floor.

The site team and subcontractors have done an outstanding job not only enhancing the block's energy efficiency but also transforming its appearance—a design philosophy that will now be carried forward across the remaining 31 blocks.

In line with the PAS 2035 specification framework for energy retrofits of existing buildings, AHP developed a comprehensive design package for the scheme at Abdon Avenue. The works include the installation of Wetherby Wall Systems external wall insulation (EWI), upgraded flat roofs with improved thermal performance and waterproofing, loft insulation, new high-performance windows and doors, and enhancements to both ventilation and airtightness.
