EQUANS holds a prominent position as a leader in the facilities management sector, operating autonomously under the ENGIE Group’s umbrella. ENGIE is a significant player in the realm of renewable energy investment and storage, overseeing an extensive property portfolio that spans the United Kingdom and global locations. Functioning independently within the ENGIE Group, EQUANS is entrusted with the crucial role of providing technical services and managing the facilities within this expansive real estate portfolio. With a global workforce exceeding 74,000 dedicated professionals, EQUANS, much like its parent company, is steadfastly committed to the mission of reducing carbon emissions within the housing sector.
EQUANS, a significant investor in the North West, has actively participated in numerous construction projects throughout the region. We’ve had the privilege of collaborating with them on several of these endeavours. Detailed descriptions and high-resolution images of some of these projects can be found below.

Buckley View and Louise Gardens are two streets in the popular residential district of Smallbridge in Rochdale. They are comprised of a mixture of terraced and semi-detached properties, some of which are privately owned, while others are rental properties, managed by EQUANS
We were instructed to retrofit their existing house stock to bring it up to an acceptable standard. This involved fitting new roofs and external wall insulation to all properties. The walls were then finished with brick slips to give the appearance of regular brickwork. We also installed new uPVC windows and composite doors to improve energy efficiency and lower each building’s carbon footprint.
This project was completed under the PAS2030 scheme, which is a British Standards Institute (BSI) standard that details the requirements needed for the installation of energy efficient measures (EEMs) in UK homes. This covers such things as energy efficient doors and windows, insulation, ventilation, hot water systems, and much more. As experienced local contractors that specialise in retrofitting domestic properties, we are fully certified to tackle PAS2030 commissions.
