Social housing and estate programmes for Colne properties
If your property is in Colne or the BB8 district or nearby Nelson, Burnley and Accrington, it is within our Lancashire coverage. It is about 23 miles east of Preston.
Blocks of flats in Colne are surveyed as a whole, because the cavity runs across every flat in the building. Per-address photo records for Colne properties make compliance files and EPC updates straightforward.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Lancashire face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
For regulations, in Colne filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England
In England, ECO4 runs to 31 December 2026 and Warm Homes: Local Grant supports low-income households through councils.
