In 2018 Salix Homes was given the green light by Salford City Council to carry out a major redevelopment project at the city’s Canon Green Campus.
With Willmott Dixon appointed as main contractor, Hamilton was tasked with the installation of a WBS A2 rated EWI system with a silicone finish to the upper floors and a clay brick slip finish to the ground floor to Canon Green Court, a 1960s style seven-storey residential building.
Located on West King Street, the block had distinctive blue balconies and its edgy look provided the backdrop for several gritty television dramas including ITV’s Prey and Channel 4’s No Offence.
The refurbishment included new kitchens, bathrooms, heating systems, sprinkler systems, exterior refacing and insulation. Hamilton worked with an established network of trusted material suppliers to ensure the external wall insulation system was the best fit solution.
The building had not benefitted from EWI before, so the addition of this high-quality insulation system would make a significant difference for residents – not only improving the look of the block, but also boosting its thermal efficiency.
