EQUANS is a leading provider of energy and regeneration services, operating as part of the ENGIE Group. ENGIE, a global force in renewable energy investment and storage, manages an extensive real estate portfolio across the UK and worldwide. EQUANS operates independently under the ENGIE banner, supporting low-carbon initiatives through property upgrades, retrofit schemes, and long-term facilities management.
EQUANS remains a key delivery partner in regeneration projects across the North West. Thextons has worked closely with their teams on a wide range of programmes, providing installation expertise that meets the highest technical and regulatory standards. The project below reflects our shared focus on sustainability, security, and long-lasting improvements to housing stock.
As part of a government-funded decarbonisation scheme, EQUANS commissioned Thextons to carry out major property upgrades across five locations: The Glen, Max Road, Hayden Road, King’s Heath, and Finch Lane. The scheme, delivered in collaboration with a major housing provider, aimed to improve energy efficiency, security, and comfort for tenants while enabling further measures such as external wall insulation (EWI).
We installed high-performance uPVC double glazing across the properties, fully compliant with PAS 2030 standards and achieving an impressive U-value of 1.0. These upgrades significantly improve heat retention and reduce energy consumption – key outcomes for any decarbonisation project.
Each site was fitted with secure, Visage composite entrance doors. These provided added thermal performance and durability while meeting Secured by Design specifications – an important factor in safeguarding residents. We also carried out aluminium oversilling on window units to enable the effective application of EWI following our installation.
All works were completed under our FENSA accreditation, ensuring full compliance with building regulations and high standards of workmanship.
Our experience delivering large-scale retrofit works makes Thextons a trusted partner for housing providers, principal contractors, and decarbonisation specialists alike.
