Building works update
Improvement works across Heath Town
The building contractor, United Infrastructure, has been busy making important improvements to the mid-rise blocks across the estate. The works will improve comfort, safety, and overall living standards for residents.
Windows are being installed at Ling House, along with essential electrical improvements and ceiling re-fits to refresh and modernise your homes.
We are also pleased to share that door intercoms have been fitted at Lincoln House, which will give residents greater communication and security to their block.
Please click on the relevant property below to read more updates, specific to you.

Deck access blocks
We are fitting new boilers and radiators in many of the homes within the deck access blocks. They will replace an old warm air unit that is currently giving heating through grills in each room. The new system is environmentally friendly and is a great opportunity for you to save money on your heating bills - as they will be connected to the recently built Energy Centre located on Chervil Rise.
Your homes will also be benefitting from an electrical upgrade involving a new fuse board and new smoke and heat detection alarms.
Additionally, your homes are kept up to date with the latest fire safety regulations. With fire doors fitted throughout, with fire stopping and asbestos removal works where necessary.
All of these upgrades will benefit you and your families for years to come, helping you to live in safe and secure homes.

Longfield House
Building work is progressing well at Longfield House. Thank you to the majority of you who have given us access to your home, so we can complete the upgrades. We have only a small number of homes where we are finding access difficult and would appreciate your help to gain access. We will continue to do our best to work with you so your home is upgraded to the best possible standard.
The scaffold is now up to Floor 19. Due to the positioning of the aerial, the scaffold has had to be placed on hold, but plans are in place for the aerial to be re-directed. We will provide an update to you over the coming weeks, and once the scaffold is in place, we will be fitting the curtain walls.
-
Brockfield House
Building works are progressing well, and the scaffold has now been dropped to Floor six.
We are experiencing some difficulties in accessing your homes to enable the upgrades to take place, and would ask for your support to ensure access is provided. In some cases, your Tenancy and Leasehold Officer will be in touch to help us to progress the works where access is limited.
-
Campion House
Work is going well at Campion House. We are working through homes that have been snagged, to ensure that all of our works are complete to the highest standards.
We are currently installing new skirting boards in the communal areas.
The scaffold has now started to be dropped and currently at Floor 16. Thank you for your cooperation.
Join us for our coffee mornings ☕
United Infrastructure host coffee mornings once a month. These sessions are held on the estate to ensure tenants are aware of works and have the opportunity to chat to a member of the team. We will also always update you with any building works, with a dedicated Resident Liaison Officer visiting your home with a letter including the details.
The coffee mornings are advertised in the relevant block. Please keep an eye out for the details and make sure to say hello!

Helping people build new futures as they rebuild bikes
The City Council is supporting the Hope Community Project on a new scheme to help residents learn skills while restoring unwanted bicycles.
Heath Town Spokes and Skills is a six week programme focusing primarily on bike mechanics and maintenance, which will restore bikes donated through the council’s Too Good to Chuck scheme.
But it will go far beyond that by empowering people to build skills, confidence, friendships and potentially even gain employment.
It is the latest scheme under the council’s City Homemakers banner and is being funded through the Government’s Household Support Fund.
Participants will get the chance to use the bikes, giving them access to reliable, economical transportation, which in turn could help them gain employment.
Some of the bikes will be sold for affordable prices to people in need in the community and proceeds will help fund future schemes.
Anyone interested in finding out more about the six week programme and signing up should contact Jack Burgwin at Hope Community Project.

Stay safe
Tailored support from your Fire Safety team
With the building works going on across Heath Town, Wolverhampton Homes' Fire Safety team has been supporting customers with their individual needs.
The team recently helped a customer to put special measures in place, to ensure the resident was happy to come and go from his home whilst temporary changes were being made to the entrance of his building.
The team is always more than happy to help with your fire safety needs. If you have any issues with fire safety, such as any support evacuating your home in an emergency, please contact the Fire Safety team.
If you do have any mobility needs, and require support, please do let us know, and if your needs change, please ensure your details are updated. You can do this via the customer app or you can call us on 01902 556789.
Damp, mould and condensation
In most cases, damp and mould growth are caused by condensation, which occurs when warm moist air comes into contact with a cold surface like a wall or window. There are small changes you can make to help reduce condensation in your home.
If you are still experiencing damp and mould, please tell us.
Winter wellbeing events
Are you interested in free advice on cutting costs and staying warm?
Our Energy and Climate Change team is now hosting its annual winter wellbeing events, offering customers free advice on cutting costs and staying warm this season. Severn Trent Water will also be joining the team and will be on hand with water saving tips.
No need to book an appointment - just check the dates on our website and turn up if you need any advice. We look forward to seeing you there.
