Since our lobbying of Heathrow Airport on much needed improvements to the scheme, the company has given updates to the scheme:
Two updates on the scheme.
Cost cap per house
Heathrow do not share the exact cost cap figure as this can vary due to the size and nature of the property. The cost per home is determined when the validation survey has been undertaken. If the cost of the work exceeds the cap, Heathrow work with each resident to understand their specific circumstances and make proposal. An alternative is that cases may be able to tbe taken to the Heathrow Prioritisation Panel. The panel reviews cases.
Glazing
There are currently two glazing contractors engaged on the scheme. These are allocated to different geographical areas to deliver works under the insulation scheme. Kier Places manages the scheme on behalf of Heathrow. TFT carry out quality assurance inspections.
Where mistakes happen, but contractors listen and fix issues; the windows should then be ultimately installed to a good standard.
